A political cartoon that shows the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz with the US flag on his chest, dripping with oil and holding a bucket of coal and an oily barrel, taking a path that diverges from the yellow brick road. A sign in front of the Tin Man says 'The Past'.  Following the yellow brick road is a futuristic robot holding a wind energy turbine and a solar panel, with the flag of China on his chest. A sign in front of the robot says 'the future'.

The US will have killbots too. Just their batteries will be charged with dirty power.

    But we won't have the incredible infrastructure that China has built for their people, like Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge. Hell, seems like the only time we get a new, important infrastructure project here in the US it's because a tanker crashed into a bridge or we waited too long to modernize something and it collapsed.

    And that feels like a massive theft from the next generations, at least to me.
