The question of the collapse of the US economy, and in general a US
societal collapse, is becoming a topic of discussion in polite society,
and even more so on the street. The signs are everywhere, from the
accelerating debt accumulation and the disintegration of the productive
base to the breakdown of the social consensus and even of social discourse,
the loss of any moral compass, sexual promiscuity, and never-ending
militaristic hubris. ..
Its vast untapped agricultural territory is no longer an opportunity to
explode with record harvests, but rather its soil is overused and depleted.
Is its labor force young and vibrant? No, the native labor force is older,
bloated. Is it still being refreshed through immigration? No, immigration
today produces oversaturation with unskilled, most often unmotivated,
welfare-seeking, unwilling to integrate, separatist enclaves. Is its
technological leadership unmatched by competition from rival countries?
Not at all. Rather, it is peddling legacy technologies, still producing
dividends and rents but no longer a leader of the pack.
So then, how is that the US still carries the day and is still standing up,
if all its constitutive elements, its economy, its financials, its
military, its technology, its social cohesion, are crumbling all around?
The obvious answer is, indeed, its undivided geriatric leadership .. They,
the 70s and 80s and 90s crop of oligarchs, still hold the country together.
They still aren't letting it go, as long as they are in charge, as long as
they are alive.
And then, after that? .. That moment cannot be far off. Once the geriatric
present leadership goes out feet first, the deep fault lines dividing
America will shake the nation to its foundations ..
