Huh? Were easily the best investment for uncle sam, hands down. Dont get me wrong, were all a bunch of insufferable liberal city-slickers, but our resources and land are insane.
You dont want the chinese owning us anymore than they already do. Either annex us, or watch us succumb to the mandarin menace while we get flooded by Indians. Tabernac!
No, sincerely, what you say is correct. However, our current environmental policies wouldn't allow us to use those resources any better than you do.
It'll take a lot of reform of our system before we can fix all the broken shit of yours.
Edit: Hint, you'd start losing the use of a lot of your resources quickly under US control. Your lives would get worse. And your demands upon our government would not be met like your government has met them.
It's not a great scenario, friend. The US is very unstable. The last 4 years were horrific. I'll be really happy, honestly, if we can get back to work on the Keystone XL Pipeline. That contract was signed, it needs to be fulfilled.
