    US won’t recover the position it had in fifty years or more.

    This is not a bad thing. Over dependency on any one nation or even a bloc of nations is a bad thing.

    I can’t help but think the dependency on the US that has been created played some role in what’s happening now.

        Not even that. I’m thinking too much money, power and influence all consolidated in one place.

        The US has the most billionaires at 989 and I’m guessing of the remaining ~2400 billionaires in the world, a not insignificant amount have substantial interests in the US.

        It’s good the rest of the world is watching it happen. I hope they’re taking notes because it’s not stopping in America.
