[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you think it will be like in the country for the next decade? Climate deniers, health care vaccine deniers, data deniers. Add the type of deniers you have seen or you predict will emerge within the next 10 years. People from other countries and/or if you have lived extensively elsewhere : can you draw correlations to what you have seen in a different country, and if you have kids, do you advise your kid to move to the country from where you moved to the US even if the kid has never visited or lived in that country? Should people try to move to ...I don't know ...Mars? [/quote]

The US has been in decline for almost 50 years, but it was proceeding slowly and bumps here and there kept it from becoming too serious. That's not the case anymore.

The things that made America "great" are not really the things that the left or right emphasized - although I'd argue that civil rights that ensured racial and gender equality are an exception. What made America "great," as in prosperous, was our global financial domination. Things like societal equality, transparency and relative lack of corruption in business and government, and not for nothing, but leaders who hewed to those norms were major reasons for our prosperity.

All that is over.

Our impending financial instability is going to be the huge stone dropping in the water that will produce even more destabilizing ripple effects.[/quote]
