Why likely? The poor always get the brunt of downturns/suffer the most.

Not before the US implodes into financial ruin or explodes into civil war, I don’t think. Maybe from the ashes of the American Empire, but look at the federal government and tell me you see a path to a better future for any but the well off in our lifetimes.

The world is on the brink of collapse financially, militarily, and climaticly.

Truly, I envy your optimism, and mourn the loss of my own a long time ago.

That wasn’t me being optimistic hah, that was just explaining a route that could benefit the poor while making the rich less rich.

However, I do think Trump has royally fucked up any possible way the US stays at the top. The distrust across the world in America is at all time highs.
