Re Part:
“There’s no doubt this ship is going down but the US is in far better shape than some of the other governments around the globe”
Comment: I do not agree with that statement. That statement would be accurate decades ago, before globalization. The rest of the world sucked us dry, first our gold reserves then our major industries.
The “good guys finish last” and that’s the USA. We were last and because of that crashed in 2008. This is why they kept saying “America first” because the USA ended up LAST. And now its very important for the world to make America first again.
What goes around comes around. Its time for the other countries to be last for a few decades like America was. Then later on we can make the Global Commune-ity first again for humanitarian reasons.
