5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
I accept: America is dead. We can't build or accomplish great things, we don't lead world in anything but defense $ and per capita ppl in prison.
Hatred and refusing to pay for what we need was the cause.

...that America is dead is not a catastrophe, but historical inevitability. Empires rise and fall, always because of arrogance. We have believed we can borrow to infinity, ignore the basic requirements of a nation (like infrastructure), engage in war w/o paying for it. And no...
...these catastrophes are not caused by illegal immigrants, gay marriage, college that isn't free and all of the other dangling keys used to keep people distracted from our utter collapse. We could build things again, if we paid for it. We could do things again, if we paid...
...for it. We could have an economy with structural support if we understood that shifting trillions from the working class to the rich is an unsustainable model that always results in collapse. We worry about how much everyone can get now, without concern about....
...real jobs, or when our children become elderly. Selfishness, hatred, propaganda and deception have led us down this road. For years, I thought we could make it back. Neither party cares anymore about taking us there.
...go to another developed country. You don't see telephone poles. Why? Because they buried their wires, using cutting edge cables. They dont have sewers with 150 year old pipes. They dont have an electrical grid that is already 25 years past its projected lifespan. They have....
...high speed trains, perfect highways, top electrical grids, modern-age power generation. Look at the airport in Seoul, then compare it to LaGuardia or O'Hare. And blush in shame. But the wealthy need tax cuts, so we have to decay. Then, when it all falls apart....
...they will board their still-tax deductible private planes and fly to their homes in London, France, Italy, leaving the suckers who thought the enemy were people in the same class with different opinions behind to wallow in the wreckage the rich created.
