Like the Soviet Union in its final years, the United States is reeling from
catastrophic failures of leadership and long-suppressed socioeconomic
tensions that have finally boiled over. .. The hegemony of the US dollar may
finally be coming to an end. .. Like statues of Lenin during the collapse of
the Soviet empire, statues of Confederate leaders are being toppled ..
The circumstances to which the dollar owes its longstanding hegemony are now
changing. .. Not only Russia and China but also Europe have quickly taken
steps to develop alternative mechanisms for international payments .. The
dollar's long reign over the international financial system depended on the
US remaining economically stable, financially credible, and culturally open.
Now that the US system's dysfunctions are being laid bare, the rest of the
world may start to question its basic competence ..

The fact is that America's problems are much vaster than Trump. ..
America's disastrous response to the coronavirus pandemic is not simply
a function of the Trump administration's incompetence and incontinence
.. This isn't a Republican fail. It's an American fail. .. This is the
doom loop into which we appear to have fallen .. centrifugal forces ..
This isn't what a liberal society is supposed to look like. It isn't
fascism either. It may well be the early stages of a 10,000-front civil
war. But more likely it's something else - a glimpse of a shattered
country in decline .. A debilitating collapse in state capacity - that
is what we're seeing ..

Millions of Americans are trapped. They need higher wages ..
While wealthy Americans have weathered the lockdown just fine for these
last few months, millions of workers across the country face a current
and pending economic crisis thanks to structural barriers to wealth and
livable wages. It's a crisis that predates Covid-19, but has been
compounded because of the pandemic.
It's a crisis of income. The reality of joblessness or a drastic reduction
in paid working hours for tens of millions of American workers has set in.
At least 45 million people are now unemployed. ..
American income inequality has hit its highest point in 50 years. The top
1% already owns more wealth than the entire bottom half of the country,
and is now on track to surpass the wealth of the entire middle class,
while billionaires accrued over $500bn in the last 12 weeks. For the first
time in history, billionaires are paying a lower tax rate than the working
class. .. The United States still sees people dying because they are poor
and unable to afford treatment. ..

If you want to sell your KGB/FSB inside info like names, contact info, addresses and other confidential data then you may have better luck. They probably shoot or poison you later, but that is life.

Among the list of nations to which Norway and the rest of Europe will
soon reopen for travel are three from the continent that Trump flushed
down the toilet: Algeria, Morocco and Rwanda. Canada is also on the list.
So is China .. But Trump's America is not, because we are nowhere close
to meeting Europe's criteria for reducing the spread of the coronavirus.
.. I have lived in the United States for more than 30 years, and I can't
think of any national failure as naked and complete as this one. ..

the 26 years since, Rwanda has rebuilt itself, and now it boasts one of
the most capable medical systems in Africa. Rwanda's 13 million people
have nearly universal health care coverage .. To date, only two Rwandans
are known to have died of Covid-19. .. I truly hope that Rwandans and

The New Normal: Extremes Of Neofeudalism, Incompetence, Authoritarianism ..
Here's what to expect in the rapidly evolving New Normal: extremes become
even more extreme as the status quo attempts to force compliance with its
last-ditch schemes to preserve what was always unsustainable while painting
a happy face on the stock market, the one thing they can push higher as the
global economy unravels. ..
Cognitive dissonance? Yes. Schizophrenia? Sure. Crazy-making? Undoubtedly.
So the default "solution" is petty Authoritarianism to ensure we only see
approved narratives, that we focus on the happy-happy signal of the glorious
stock market (best rally ever!), that we pay higher taxes without complaint,
and so on. ..
The system is incompetent at every level, from school boards to the Federal
Reserve. Rather than solve problems, our institutions have devolved into
mechanisms to protect clerisy/insiders from transparency and accountability.
In the New Normal, systemic incompetence isn't going to magically transform
into competence, it's going to reach new extremes of incompetence and self-
serving hubris. ..

The United States' decline started with little things that people got
used to. Americans drove past empty construction sites and didn't even
think about why the workers weren't working, then wondered why roads
and buildings took so long to finish. They got used to avoiding
hospitals because of the unpredictable and enormous bills they'd
receive. They paid 6% real-estate commissions, never realizing that
Australians were paying 2%. They grumbled about high taxes and high
health-insurance premiums and potholed roads, but rarely imagined what
it would be like to live in a system that worked better. ..
The most immediate cost of U.S. decline .. comes from the country's
disastrous response to the coronavirus pandemic. Leadership failures
were pervasive and catastrophic at every level - the president,
agencies .. and state and local leaders .. As a result, the U.S. is
suffering a horrific surge of infections .. no sign of slowing down.
This utter failure to suppress a disease that most other countries
managed to contain will have real economic costs for Americans ..
In addition to worrying about their jobs and livelihoods, Americans
must be subjected to months of images of Italians casually walking
around on the streets while they cower in their houses. It's a painful
and stark demonstration of national decline. Even more galling, the
country's COVID failure means that its citizens can no longer travel
freely around the world; even Europe plans to impose a travel ban on
Americans.
But the consequences of U.S. decline will far outlast coronavirus.
With its high housing costs, poor infrastructure and transit, endemic
gun violence, police brutality and bitter political and racial
divisions, the U.S. will be a less appealing place for high-skilled
workers to live. That means companies will find other countries in
Europe, Asia and elsewhere a more attractive destination for
investment, robbing the U.S. of jobs, depressing wages and draining
away the local spending that powers the service economy. That in turn
will exacerbate some of the worst trends of U.S. decline - less tax
money means even more urban decay as infrastructure, education and
social-welfare programs are forced to make big cuts. ..
