I may have confused the issue with my pharsing . I was stating that the move by poorer countries to skip the pollution industrial style growth and go directly to renewable was a no brainer , hence the phrase kinda common sense . Financial issues run the show on both sides and I would never say any different . <| sep |> It ' s sad to me that we are losing this . It ' s what made America what it was . Everyone took care of themselves . You are responsible for your life . That being said , we also help each other out when we can . Europeans who come to the US always comment on how friendly and helpful we are . Because we know we have to help each other out . That ' s not the governments or another organizations job . It ' s your job . Take care of yourself .
