Yeah, that's a super good point. Of course, the moral argument of the golden rule, helping people everywhere, is our strongest argument, but that alone isn't going to get us there. You know, we had some of the generals in the U.S. Army saying, hey, if you don't help these countries out, then we'll have to go to war and, you know, you'll have to increase our budget.

So that the foreign aid budget, by creating stability, it avoids the awful war. And also, you know, if you lift people up economically, like Asia today, buys a lot of American stuff, movies, drugs, jets, software, you name it. So our mutual interest Success, you know, it's been amazing.

You know, the two countries we defeat in World War II, we're generous enough to them that they become the second and third biggest economy. And we engage in mutually beneficial trade. You know, Japan shows us how to make quality products. And now we want to extend that, you know, and get, you know, Asia's doing well. India's getting rich. And eventually they don't need aid if you help them out.

Yeah, so environmentally, a lot of these poor countries are very beautiful and we all have to deal with climate change. Sadly, it's these African countries that didn't contribute to that problem at all because they're outdoor farmers near the equator. They're the ones that are suffering the most. The countries we need to really change their emissions are these middle-income countries.

So China, Brazil, now India. And they expect us to help them by inventing really inexpensive ways to go green. And so the biggest hope— for the environmental stuff is innovation. If the green stuff is really expensive, even the rich countries are kind of saying, hey, don't make me buy an electric car if it costs more. Don't make me buy an electric heat pump.
