But why? Trump already told the rest of the world to buy American oil and to also open up the strait since the "hard part is already done". Why do we need clean, locally sourced energy?
Ok, that's fine, but I am still going to praise him. This took courage to do.
Even if he's wrong about other things, he did the right thing here. How are we ever going to incentivize people to do the right thing if they are going to get shit for it either way?
There's a time and place to criticize him, but right now at this moment I'm more than happy to simply praise him.
This took courage and we should celebrate this. I can already see people pointing fingers at him; that is worth doing eventually, but this is not the time for that.
Let's recognize good behavior and make sure we encourage more people to do the same.
I get the point but I don't agree with the sentiment. If all we ever do is punish people for doing the right thing, they will stop doing it.
People make mistakes. If they eventually turn around and do the right thing, we should celebrate it and not point fingers for being imperfect to begin with.
Incentives are important. And we need to incentivize more of the behavior we just saw in him.
I've lived in both and while the similarities are there, it's a bit different. Singapore still has a majority non expat population while Dubai has only about a 10% local population. Singapore also invests heavily in local education with one of the highest densities of PhDs in the world.
