Rail cargo looters pilfering international packages in LA. US

I believe we are witnessing the collapse of the US right before our eyes. Civil unrest, deindustralisation, crime skyrocketing, pandemic mismanagement, debt at catastrophic levels, big inflation due to money printing, stock market bubble due to money printing, cost overruns of nearly every project, infrastructure crumbling. This is a country that is collapsing.

Luckily things like these would only sink fragile countries like China overnight but the US is pretty resilient.

Well here in Western Media I heard stories some people like 40-50 going in malls and robbing a shot or jewelry shop together

But did not knew that this stuff is also happening on side , this is brand new news to me

Reviewing what happened in Russia in 1990's economic collapse I remember it was un-imaginable to consider that USSR could topple but economic factors , forced the USSR nation to implode which created many breakaway nations

There is a small possibility based on the conditions in Global World

• USA's massive massive debt which needs like 30-40 years of debt payment with whole GDP of country unsure who is lending US these funds.
• The Dollar Yet does not falls forcing poor nations of world to keep devaluating their own currency
• US's internal civil conditions , with Black Nation Movement
• The Divide between Yankee and Southern States is already quite deeply rooted
• Republican / Democratic hate
• COVID-19 Load on medical system
• Rising Inflation

Considering that US does also produces 50% of Vaccine stock in World is also problematic it is well understood that , for vaccination production an unstable US would be bad news


The covid factor on economy is not yet well understood by many researchers the pendamic in 1900's did occur close to WW1 but it ended 1 year , Covid has now gone over 2 years and still spreading

The world's biggest Western-styled democracy and the second-biggest one now have a lot in common. I will call that the beauty of democracy.

This doesn't have to do with Democracy. This has to do with a LA Mayor pandering to the Liberals who say putting underprivileged people in jail for non-violent theft is "ruining their future".

This is the California Governor criticizing some of the Mayors of pandering

Newsom defends Prop 47 and calls on prosecutors to use existing laws to punish shoplifters

Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday in no uncertain terms that he thinks shoplifters should be prosecuted under existing California laws, as he called out local officials whom he said have been reluctant to do so. He was responding to a recent run of large-scale thefts in California and across the...

“If people are breaking in, people stealing your property, they need to be arrested. Police need to arrest them. Prosecutors need to prosecute them. Judges need to hold people accountable for breaking the law,” Newsom said. “These are not victimless crimes, and I have no empathy for these criminal elements.”

Even thefts under $950 should be prosecuted as misdemeanors or “stacked” into felony complaints if there are repeat offenses, he said, contending some officials “choose” not to do so.

How come US has the biggest prison population in the world, is that because Americans are more inherently violent and criminal minded than rest of the world?

The similarities are scary. Gladly, one is much less competent in disturbing global peace.

For Federal it is Drug offences. I'm sure the non-Fed is not much different.

As usual the cause is Liberal Democrat LA lawmakers going easy on crime turning US cities into a haven for decay and trying their best to become the next Detroit.

Hey LA DA stop being useless.

I don't know about you but I have never felt this much fear about the direction this country is going. I sense a general desire in people to be on the 'take' for govt hand-outs: Disability payments. Hiding income to claim Obamacare benefits while strongly Republicans. Partying college students want college loans written off. People trying to get out of working and waiting for the next govt handout or 'stimulus check'; or avoiding paying rent even if screws the landlord who maybe equally vulnerable to poverty. The moral fiber of the society is unraveling.

Unless some fundamental changes happen, I only see growing anarchy and decline. The 'resilience' you talk about in America has indeed been there again and again but there is no guarantee it will be there all the time. The country is looking more and more like it was in the 1850s--leading to the Civil War.

I am hoping I am wrong. Perhaps all this gloom is related to the Covid pandemic. Or its because of the winter season. I don't know.

I think a day of severe shaming is in order and long overdue and it will wake up the country.

All we need to do is bring in some Russian/Chinese/Cuban/North Korean economist infront of the Liberal idiots in Congress (like Elizabeth Warren) to say :

1) This policy of handing out free money with no work in return is unsustainable and is destroying your cities...especially when you pair that with a useless increase in government jobs so you can claim you have lowered the unemployment rate a few notches.

2) Your over-the-top placating to activists who claim the disadvantaged should not be prosecuted for non-violent crimes is a ridiculous policy which only causes flight of actual taxpayers and businesses...which lowers your budget abilities...causing a spiral downwards.

3) Your placating to those who claimed IQ tests are discriminatory and thus now everybody is required to spend $100K+ on a college education just to get a job as a secretary in corporate America is ridiculous. An alternate solution should have been encouraged instead of tuition extortion. The only thing accomplished was to put young people in debt, delays first home buying/marriage, thus lowers the birthrate, increases citizen salary demand requirements (to pay down the college debt) which drives up company costs leading to an increase in demand for a foreign H1B workforce due to lower wage acceptance.

4) Your Clean Air/Water/Land laws have chased all your manufacturing jobs overseas. These were the jobs that those people you are now paying free benefits too in your cities would have been working in.

Spot on!! I couldn't have put it better way!
You maybe surprised that almost till the Nov. 2020 elections, I was a blind and diehard Democrats--and for decades.
