This country is in terminal decline. Also, so is ours. It’s just going to take a few years before people realize it. Ive posted this a few times. It’s insanely obvious.
I wouldn't go as far as saying terminal decline, but the writing is on the wall and decline is pretty clear. I expect America and Canada to be like European powers and the UK have been since WW2. They will still be important, influential, and offer a quality of life that many enjoy, but they will be left behind in development and in global influence. The big difference this time is that the rising power won't be an offshoot of Europe that assumes the lead. The future of growth and innovation is in the youth populations of emerging markets in the global south. The West is about to be moved out of the driver's seat.

It will be a very uncomfortable transition, and it already is for many. Those with wealth and power from the West will be fine, but the majority will find themselves lacking the advantaged position they used to benefit from in global markets. Average people are going to face competition like they never have before, and it is going to tear at the fabric of institutions that have been built during an extended period of Western global dominance.
