The short term gain of the US economy’s focus has been something that is now well documented. While overseas companies accept and understand long term investment as a business philosophy, the USA has for some reason ditched this so that they can show quarterly profits.

That’s nice, dear.

But it has nothing to do with what I said: We, as a world, manufacture too many widgets and gizmos and frivolous crap, and not enough things that will actually help us weather AGW. That includes the other countries in this world. I know you have like a nervous tic where you can’t engage with any issue without turning it into anti-Americanism, but you’re completely missing the point.
