This is the history of the world but people forget. If you look at the map of the world from 100 years ago, the countries and nationalities are often quite different.yick wrote: ↑November 8th, 2020, 8:18 pmThe country is becoming very culturally and socially different - California is nothing like Indiana, the social mores nor what they want from society, it will one day split up - I have always said that the West Coast will one day be majority Asian-American, after world war II - San Francisco was 90% white, now they're a minority in that city. It goes without saying that they will look to the Asia-Pacific region more and more as the demographics change.
Also, it costs a lot of money to keep a country that size united, I think one day it will be like the FSU - they will be in a customs and monetary union but independent states - The United States of America is coming to an end, maybe not within our lifetimes but the next 100 years it will be a blip in history.
Absolutely! The world map is a a great indicator of how things change, land borders change as do the names - nothing is set in stone. The map of Europe has changed drastically in our own lifetimes.Contrarian Expatriate wrote: ↑November 8th, 2020, 8:28 pmThis is the history of the world but people forget.

An empire must fall to its great success eventually. America is in that process. I have been buying assets abroad for years now waiting for this to happen. It might finally be here to profit from.
Oct 5, 2017Every year since the turn of the millennium, the number of Americans dying by suicide has risen, with nearly 50,000 deaths in 2018 alone.
That steady increase began after almost a decade and a half of decline and has proceeded at such a pace that 2018's per capita suicide rate is the highest since the start of World War II. Suicide is now among the 10 leading causes of death in the United States, the second-most common cause for Americans between the ages of 10 and 24, and the third-most for those between 25 and 44.
Jun 18, 2020Every year, nearly 45,000 people in America kill themselves. That is more than twice the number that die in homicides, and the numbers are increasing. There is one group in particular causing this spike - white, middle aged men. India Rakusen goes to Montana, where suicide rates are double the national average, to find out what drives so many of these men to despair and taking their own lives.
In this essay, I want to share with you a tiny theory of what it means to be American. It is up to you to judge, as ever, whether it carries any weight. All that I will say is that when I look around, it explains, a little, what I see.
Any theory of being American must explain one salient and striking fact: cruelty. America is the most cruel nation among its peers — even among most poor countries today. It is something like a new Rome. It has little, if any, functioning healthcare, education, transport, media, no safety nets, no stability, security. The middle class is collapsing, and life expectancy is falling. Young people die for a lack of insulin they cannot crowdfund. Elderly middle-class people live and die in their cars. Kids massacre each other in schools — when they’re not self-medicating the pain of it all away. The combination of these pathologies happens nowhere else — not a single place — in the world. Not even Pakistan, Costa Rica, or Rwanda. Hence, the world is aghast daily at the depths of American cruelty — yet somehow, they seem bottomless.
July 17, 2015
In 2015 the evolving societal hallmarks of the United States are timidity, voyeurism and victimhood.
March 31st, 2021Data on differing Covid-19 responses across the USA has been released and it shows that States in which there is a high compliance with mask wearing and a high rate of vaccination with the experimental Covid vaccines are performing much worse than those which have a low compliance with mask wearing and a low rate of vaccination.
Michigan currently leads the way in the vaccine roll-out, with over 3 million residents now being vaccinated, accounting for almost 40% of the Michigan population. But there are reportedly hundreds of new positive cases among those who have had the vaccine with at least three of these cases so far resulting death. This has lead Michigan officials to claim that the new cases must be due to “lingering infections” that were present before vaccination took place.
Jul 22, 2020A coalition of Chinese immigrant landlords in New York say they're on the verge of losing everything because of tenants who have stopped paying rent.
Nearly a third of Americans didn't pay their housing costs in July. Now local, state and federal moratoria on evictions originally put in place during the coronavirus pandemic are expiring. While landlords may be sympathetic to tenants needs, communities face hardships when rent goes unpaid. A movement to cancel rent has been growing as the patchwork of solutions across the country leaves many renters falling through the cracks.
