It fully depends on the Millennials and Zoomers...
America is stuck in a new game playing by old rules. What I mean by this is we are using a Boomer/Gen X playbook for a world that looks completely different.
If we continue to use this playbook, the wealth gap will continue to widen, which is upstream of most other issues we face.
The only way to stop this collapse is for the young(er) citizens to make a change. You have to pray that the subgroup of hyper-motivated individuals in these generations do not burn out or get stomped out before they can make the needed changes.
If this happens, they will take their productive capabilities and leave America (we are seeing this now).
There is so much potential for America, but the cards are stacked against the people who can fix it.
I refuse to lose hope and believe America will continue to thrive for generations to come.
US empire collapse does not mean the end of USA as a relatively wealthy nation.
If played correctly it could mean retrenching into the role of a regional power which is exactly what Trumps moves so far look like...becoming a regional hegemony across the Americas stretching from Latin America to Greenland.
China will increase its sphere of influence across Africa, Middle East, Asia and elsewhere.
Russia and Iran are already dependent upon Chinese trade and Chinese trade payments provision.
Europe will fend for itself and be increasingly dependent upon China.
All nations are now reliant upon Chinese supply chains.
China has won the trade war but US can salvage some of its declining position and this appears to be Trumps strategy.
Just as the UK preserved some of its wealth and power as its decline occurred it is not impossible for the USA to do the same or similar.
Trumps 'crypto' policies could be seen as analogous to Britains use of offshore tax havens to preserve wealth advantage ~ at least for wealthy Brits.
