The corporations paid off the politicians to facilitate offshoring much of our manufacturing. Politicians on both sides took their cash, and made it happen. The top 1% are crushing the 99%.

Next, many service sector jobs will be automated out of existence.

In the end, the 99% will have to return to agrarian society to grow their own food, and provide for themselves. They will not have the means to buy goods and services anymore. The top 1% here will feed off the 99% in other countries...this has already begun with the multi-national corporations.

And, this is the best case scenario. You don't want to know the other possible scenarios.

The powers rigged the USA to fall and paved the way for China to be the new super power. Why do you think the corporate owned media along with politicians like Diane Feinstein (who just happened to have a Chinese spy driving her around for 20 years) are trying to get rid of America's second amendment?

Yep, I wish people would wake up and realize both sides are doing the same thing, and tbey use division like blacks vs whites, gays vs straight, men vs women, and religions to keep us distracted from the fact we are getting screwed royally by both.

What do you mean, "what if"?

Just keep a diary. This IS "what if".

"The US manufactures a ton of things." We are the number 2 manufacturing country in the WORLD.

as soon as this clears up we'll move on to the next "disaster" in the making and this PPE shortage will fade into the sunset. Keep your pearls handy America.

The Red versus Blue is the biggest division, and the most effective. This forum proves it. Just think if all the mental energy used to write these millions of posts was used instead to cull the top 1%.

Big Business Interests was screaming for years they needed more economic freedoms to spread their wings in the pursuit of greater profits for upper management and shareholders while workers were **** on and forgot about their host country along the way.

This is exactly correct. The right vs left are just like prosecutors and defense attorneys. They put on a show during the trial but after hours they buy each other drinks and laugh at the things they got away with in court. They sold the entire ship while we were fighting over were to put the deck chairs.

It doesn't matter.
It will always be cheaper under a Communist country vs a Capitalist country where people have rights and freedoms.

Pick any year in our countries history and it is the same.
