I see a borderline failed state. The fact people are rushing there from other failed states is no signifier of confidence as far as I’m concerned. Generally I see it as a warning sign for western ideals, and a great tragedy waiting to unfold if the shit hits the fan. When pressed, I’ll express my concern that a population of people who have had it so good for so long have done so little to agree about what it means to be human and autonomous and as a result have completely failed their founding fathers.

The US is turning away from being a market economy, and if that's your point I tend to agree.
