1 - Both are actively failing. Adjusting for inflation, the avg US individual income is about 1/3 what it was during peak great depression. Plus we have a loaded corrupt supreme court. I believe we can surmount these challenges but feels unlikely without dramatic failure first.

1/3 of peak great depression? Cost of life adjusted?

Yes that's what I meant. I wish I had some numbers to reference but I'm parroting some video I watched about this topic recently š

That's incredible. So either the Great Depression was cosier than we thought, or we're in deeper shit than we know š
