Having recently read Michael Hudson book Super Imperialism it’s hard to be optimistic for USA. We are probably going to either have a civil war or Washington DC will be nuked. Government at all levels are 45 percent of USA economy now

My late father said “when I was a boy people were self reliant nowadays everyone has their hand in your pocket”. The culture of the country has changed. It’s become a rentier society dominated by FIRE sector which is great for Warren Buffet as is an insurance guy

Middle class is disappearing etc me have grifters in the corporate suites and in the government offices

Trillions are wasted every year by psychopaths in politics

Of course will keep importing people to extract from them for a generation or two.

Karl Polanyi the great socialist was correct the USA no longer has free land so those days are gone

It needs to invest in its citizens not just import people

That means universal healthcare and education

All USA will have is universal homelessness

lol
