Our ancestors and the Chinese put people in positions based on merit not on DEI and Affirm Action bullshit.

Britain made tons of money because its military allowed it to rape colonies.

Same as Rome... and same as Rome its military destroyed its economy.

Short term colonies are profitable... long term the tax burden becomes ever greater and the populace, unused to doing actual work, like plumbing or roofing, becomes fat and lazy.

Just like us.

We spend more than the rest of the world combined on our military. And we even finance other country's militaries. Like Israel.

The problem for most nuke development in the west is that engineering and construction talent has pretty much retired.

And it's not coming back because of much, much cheaper and sustainable renewables.

You will never see a reactor in every backyard!

Or any backyard for that matter.

Just too many failure modes that we have discovered over time.

The idea of "too cheap to meter" went out the window many decades ago.
