That exceeds my definition of polite understatement. I am torn between selecting the joy and anger symbolAt the start of this thread I wasn’t in agreement about the US becoming a third world country, but the last few years have changed my mind. I’ve recently been studying the fall of different ancient empires, from Petra, Rome, to the Portuguese and British empire. The parallels of what lead those empires to crumble are all too similar to the state of society in the US yet no one seems to be thinking about the future of America as a whole, it’s rather concerning.
