USA already lost. No way to go but up. After the transition. UK and EU in uptrends after bottoming in 1945, ran good until the peak in 2008. Free medical ins, 6 week vacations, unlimited sick days free college etc.
USA in downtrend going backwards economically since 1975 because of the cost of defending UK and EU and rebuilding and building countries all over the world. Where do you think China got all its money? US Consumers.
If we in the USA have to rely on our own manufacturing capabilities? Our living standards will rise, and other countries will decline, by keeping the work here rather than farming out our work to outsiders.
The other countries will decline like the USA was since 1975. Occupation creation, fake gov’t service jobs, doing unnecessary work, (EPA jobs) for example and billing it to fellow citizens. China I heard is already starting to go anti pollution (wealth) USA shutting down anti pollution. (less wealth)
