All I can do is make certain I do the best I can to keep Texas great and work on turning the United States of America around to become the country we envisioned 250 years ago.
The United States is still by far the strongest economy in world, at least in terms of GDP. In 2022 USA GDP was 40% greater than the next country, China, with about 1/3 of the population. USA GDP was 5 times higher than the next two countries, Japan and Germany.KaiBear said:Thee University said:

No it won't .
The South of 1860 is gone forever.
Worse; the United States of 1945 , is also gone forever .
From the world's dominate super power to a country where the mutilation of children is celebrated on Easter Sunday.
An incredible economic, cultural and moral collapse in less than a century .
Furthermore, Texas alone has the 8th largest economy in the world by GDP and now has more Fortune 500 HQs than anywhere in the US.Bestweekeverr said:The United States is still by far the strongest economy in world, at least in terms of GDP.

Quote:
You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it … Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.

As the US population grows it's expected the number of homeless will grow as well. The total number of homeless remained between 550K and 650K from 2007 to 2020, but trending down until 2020, resulting in much lower rates of homelessness. Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, the number of homeless remained in this range. In 2023 most of the resources from the ARP expired leading to an increase in homeless populations, around the same number as 2007 (~650k). Since the population in 2023 was 40M higher, the homelessness rate is still 12% lower than it was during 2007. Veteran homelessness rate has decreased by over 1/3 in the previous 14 years, and family homelessness rates are also on a decline. Homelessness in the US is a problem, but the data shows it has been worse and is fixable given the resources.KaiBear said:Sincerely think it's wonderful you feel this way.Bestweekeverr said:The United States is still by far the strongest economy in world, at least in terms of GDP.

However our number of homeless has never been higher.
At least a dozen of our cities are crumbling rat holes.
Our southern boarder is completely wide open and an historical invasion of our to country is well underway. Intentionally instigated for political gain. The consequences of which are only now just beginning to be felt.
Our air force and especially our Navy are first rate. With the ' boomer submarines' easily our strongest and most deadly asset. However the army is in complete disarray; short handed with obsolete equipment, and horribly led at the top. I don't know but I suspect the Marines are well trained and motivated as always , but again their equipment is obsolete.
The national debt is not some innocuous number. It is at an all time high, increasing rapidly , and worst in the entire world by a large margin. Sooner rather than later an economic crisis is inevitable. Just as has happened in other countries in the same mess. Our people can't afford higher taxes and yet demand entitlements. Politically it is suicide to effectively correct the situation so nothing is done and our politicians merely pray they will be comfortably out of office before the crash.
Our country has never been more racially, culturally or economically divided than it is now. A situation our foreign enemies are well aware of. Have no idea how this can be successfully addressed. In the event of a ground war or severe recession all hell will break lose. A class war is a legitimate concern.
China is our most immediate threat, not Russia. Taiwan is lost it's just a matter of time. Hopefully we just accept the inevitable and stay clear as our people would never support a war over the island .
Short of a negotiated settlement of the Russian Ukrainian war ; NATO will be forced to get involved directly .As the Ukraine army is rapidly running out of combat troops. Yet again our people will never support such a war .

Cities rise and cities fall, I don't see any trend that America is on its way to its demise.
People have been saying immigration of so and so people would be the downfall of our nation since the beginning, and at a national level it has made us stronger. Recently, immigration was a big reason why our inflation was not as bad as the rest of the world. Not saying that we should have open borders, what's happening now does present real problems especially at the local level, but again, I don't see it as this cataclysmic event for the US.

Try maybe a week in South Oak Cliff , East Saint Louis , Philadelphia. Newark, East LA, or Baton Rouge.
Strongly doubt you would be so causally dismissive of the realities involved.
Can only tell you the homeless problem at every Catholic Charities Rescue Mission I have visited or volunteered at is bursting with homeless people. And the suicide rate among our veterans is bad.
The border . There is no country on earth that can annually absorb the unemployed surplus population of two entire continents. For God's sake connect the dots . These illegals have no skills, few can read or write English . Exactly where is the annul job growth to employ an extra 2-4 million people each year ? What is going to stop this flood if we don't enforce existing immigration laws ?
Have you ever been to Mexico ? Not a resort mind you….but the real towns. The drug cartels run everything
