No, you're just ignorant. Only in America can you have a successful industry at almost 0% interest rates and the lowest oil prices you'll ever see again in your lifetime, that loses money hand over fist.
You know nothing of your oil industry. Look at the decline rates. It doesn't matter. People on this forum don't read.
You know nothing about business. That's pretty obvious. Oh, and since you like moving targets another huge oil field was discovered in Alaska.
I never see anyone talk about taking personal responsibility for one's actions (about everything). Everyone is also very negative. I read so much hate by people about President Trump. I think Democrats want our system to fail. Cloward and Piven stuff.

Well, maybe if Trump would take some personal responsibility for his actions...
I don't share his ultimate opinion, that these things are signs of an irreversible collapse of American society. But when we say "We're number 1!" I doubt that we're thinking about school shootings, opioid use, and decline in life expectancy. But maybe I'm wrong about you, and these are things that make you proud to be an American.
i am not proud of the piece of dirt that i live on. i do not support the existence of national governments. i dont get upset when someone badmouths murica. but when someone is a dramaqueen crybaby and says dumb stuff, ill point it out.
the guy throws in some facts and exaggerations and bad analysis. its a bunch of garbage.
The author's point that the opiod crisis is highly correlated with a badly broken health care system is a good one.
This is neither the first opioid epidemic, nor the first drug epidemic in the US. The author displays both gross ignorance and a total absence of knowledge of US History.

I don't think Americans have any idea what's around the corner.
Not only do Japanese and European central banks plan on liquiditating their US equity holdings in 2018
Furthermore, China is working hard to take the place of the Petro-Dollar by using gold backed futures and will begin large scale purchases of crude in March.
You are due for an oil shock. It will be devastating to your economy. Real estate prices will crash. The stock market will crash. There will be no relief because the dollar will not be desirable.
Thank you so much for foretelling doom and gloom just around the corner as opposed to some future decade. It means we won't have to wait very long for you to look like a fool. Post bookmarked. Lol.
The young and well-to-do are doing the opposite of what the boomers did. They are migrating back to the cities and gentrifying them. The poor, minorities, and everyone else are being pushed out to the burbs and beyond.
That's the trend that is most visible.
Behind the yuppies, guppies, and buppies is a wave of upwardly mobile immigrants who are moving to the big city (if not SF and Seattle, then Chicago, Dallas, Houston, etc.). And every ambitious kid growing up in Toledo or Dayton is trying to figure out how to move to Chicago or New York; every ambitious kid in Birmingham wants to move to Atlanta or Houston.
We're becoming more urban all the time. (Suburbs are part of cities.)
I thought this was a great short essay. It really describes America today. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to what this essay is talking about.
...adjectives before the noun subject matter of the sentence. This was a self conscious attempt to get noticed by someone who is not acculturated. Meaning the American Experience is a big mystery and really bad to this geek.
A conspiracy theory is that there is a "secret society" in the FBI, or a "deep state" or wiretaps in Trump Tower, etc.
Many of the conspiracy theories are conspiracy fact. The evidence is overwhelming. Do you think Bohemian Grove is just a fun party for rich folks? Are the elites at the Bilderberg Group meetings just looking out for the common people of their respective nations?
I agree of the power of the individual. But when the individual has total autonomy. i.e. no rule or laws, you have anarchy. See Somalia.
We're hardly in danger of no rule or no laws. We're actually drowning in laws. So it's absolutely absurd to make such a comparison.
