Good read -thanks.
I know over the past several years, I've come to see things as "a flood's coming. Not getting wet isn't an option. Prepare to operate knee deep in it". That is to say the idea we'll simply vote our way out of this is long since passed. Understand that is not going to happen because we're not going to vote it out for the 3-4 generations it would take to reverse course.
Empires tend to last 270 years.
Reserve Currencies last about 100 years.
At the end of each, there is upheaval. America sees both happening (if they happen on course) about the same time.
Empire - 2046-2058
Currency - 2044
There is no "if" - only "when" - what are you/me/we doing to prepare ourselves and our souls for that event? IOW - Titanic has hit the iceberg, no amount of maneuvering is going to stop the sinking, stop burning energy trying to stop that and use it to prepare for what the sinking means.
