    The joys of “living” in a failed state. We are unlikely to ever recover and will become something like feudal Japan. Zero legal connection to the outside world. Control by various warlords. Suppression of dissonance.

      Big difference, though, feudal Japan didn’t have the most powerful military in the world, nor military bases all over the world.

        I’m not sure that we will maintain all of the military dominance much longer. Although we may remove them and deploy them closer to home (Venezuela, Mexico, Cuba)

          Depends on how much we rely on other countries for our military tech and how willing they are to cut us off, I suppose.
