Realistic solutions. If we could beam ourselves elsewhere then much of the people of earth would already be gone. Your solution would not be needed.

Can't blame them. There are millions of planets with life. Be nice to have a choice and get away from this doomed planet. Just typing that if i ruled the world there would be big time changes to make life better for the few i pick to stay here. The way we are going now is not working.

Cost of living of essentials rising, housing (buying and renting), food & health care. Concerned regarding millennials and Gen Z being able to survive w/ the way things are.

Flooding the country with illegal aliens will exacerbate that problem. More competition for housing = increased shortages, which drives up rent/prices. Negative consequence of Dems' open borders policy.

my biggest concern is that in a decade or two,we will not be the most powerful country in the world,but common folks like us continue to buy things made in you know where and think with a huge deficit,we are still number one.
A good wake up call would be fewer and fewer bidders in our Treasury auctions!
my second concern will be When will the Arab nations all gang up together and attack Israel!

That has already happened. The Federal Reserve had to buy $2.44 trillion in US Treasuries since March 2020. It has more than doubled its holdings of US Treasuries to $5.19 trillion, and now holds a record of 18.2% of the US National Debt. With the $2 trillion worth of Fannie and Freddie MBS the Federal Reserve had to buy to keep them from crashing after the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve's current H.4.1 is at $8.136 trillion. That's up from the H.4.1 of $916 billion in January 2008.

It's nothing more than a complicated way of printing money.

Which is why we have 5% inflation rate as of May 2021, which will be increasing. All that printing devalues the US Dollar.
