It’s very obvious that is circling the drain now, but clearly this didn’t just happen in a vacuum. It must’ve started crumbling at some point… but when?
Some people might say it started after 9/11, others might say it goes back to the Raegan administration. A few might even say it started after losing the Vietnam War, or when they went off the gold standard. Or maybe even earlier…
What do you think?
I think this is pretty much exactly what will happen, yeah. Whimper, not a bang, etcetera. The impending climate complicates this a bit, actually…but left to its own devices I think this is exactly what a failed US would look like.
