The US continues to set itself up to fail big. It’s really like they want this to happen and they do everything they can to accelerate it.

‘They’ do want it to happen. Ordinary USians are gettng uppity and need to be taken down a peg.
The global elite don’t really need anything specific from the US anymore. For a brief moment, the world needed our higher education system, which is why anyone under 60 who went to grad school had lots of non-US folks in their cohorts. Those folks have gone back home in large part so there are plenty of skilled experts in critical fields internationally.
The US has no remaining unique resources, be they skilled people or natural resources. So we need to be dealt with since many of us still hold on to quaint notions like ‘freedom’, ‘autonomy’ and ‘living wage’.

Very well put. I see it the same way.
