The majority of American's must be okay with this, or we would have seen a different outcome of the midterms.
The majority of Americans (about 90%) are dumb as a stump. That includes people like my father who has a doctorate froman Ivy League university.here is a future that needs to be cons

One of Joko’s big pushes is infrastructure projects. His government pays market rate for said projects in most cases. So why not help US-based companies bid on some of those big multi-billion dollar projects that Indonesia can’t handle locally instead of letting billion dollar contracts go straight to Chinese pockets?

The reason why no Republicans here have offered up anything on Joko is that they have zero idea of what the company has to offer as an investment option. It’s the celebration of willful ignorance they have in action.
the reason no republicans here have offered up anything on joko is that we don't give a crap about joko or his investment opportunities. the thread is about our 'joko' of a president giving away billions of our dollars

That is all well and good for Joko and his People BUT this $20 Billion is a hand out not an investment that will pay dividends. The only thing that WE the Taxpayers will get out of this is a moment to feel good about ourselves and our generosity towards making the plant a better place... AH... that feels good doesn't it? Ok now back to reality where I am concerned about where I will get the $1000 next month to fill my oil tank to heat my house as Winter approaches.



The thing is how can an American company compete across the Pacific with the neighboring China and its cheap labor and environment damaging practices? I think most of us would rather see Americans working good paying jobs in the energy sector on American soil but obviously Biden wouldn't.

Yesterday I did a "within 50 mile" search of San Fransicko for Tesla's for sale on autotrader. Came up with 746 of them for sale, all within a 50 mile radius of Fransicko.

Brandon should have all those Tesla's rounded up and sent to Indonesia. It'd be a lot cheaper compared to the $20 Billion of other American's money, not out of the pockets of the top dem leadership that's a given.
