Leapfrogging Sustainable Development

Leapfrogging sustainable development inevitably involves the reviving?of manufacturing, the related jobs, green hydrogen and much berated globalization (scaling globally).?

In a world suffused with foul language (vulgarity) and stupidity:

and ignorance as normal, wit or intelligence is so refreshing. But, as Lincoln or Mark Twain (the references differ) once wrote:?If you understand only half of a man’s wit, it is only natural to think him half-witted.

Vulgarity and Wit?

As the Duchess of Grantham asserts in?Downton Abbey, vulgarity is not a substitute for wit.?

Update

America’s $1trn?Inflation Reduction Act?attempts to stop the bleeding of jobs; and applies a tourniquet to?the job losses stemming from the transformation from fossil fuel-driven economies to those propelled sustainably by green hydrogen.?Additionally, AI is causing huge job loss in the IT industry.

Germany

German and Chinese joint ventures provide a powerful example of how to drive this transformation.?

WSJ?

Germany has some 5,000 enterprises in China and trade with China is as essential to the German and Chinese economies as is trade with the U.S.?

Boeing, to be repetitious, recently lost a 105 airplane Saudia order to Airbus. This will result in the loss of thousands of U.S. jobs, as well as related jobs in many other nations, in contrast to the many manufacturing jobs that will be created in the EU because of this large order.?

A Little Geopolitics?

The fact that American forces and lives defend the EU, the Saudi Kingdom and defend Taiwan’s existence by deploying in the South China Sea and along the logistical blocking points of the world, while American manufacturing jobs are being lost, is a fundamental contradiction to and repudiation of both Alfred Thayer Mahan, the father of American geopolitics:

of Cordell Hull:?

Hull’s tenet that the merchant fleet follows the flag:

as well as his assertion that trade among nations contributes to Peace - and jobs, are not supported by America's return to mediocrity:
