Our leaders sold us out. We went from being producers to consumers, and that was our downfall. Once the steel mills left, coal mines closed, and factories went down south, then over seas, it was a done deal. Now you can't even get a customer service job, because they're over seas, too. Now here comes AI. It's over with.
This comment pretty much sums it all out. That's what happened to areas in California like Compton. There were good paying jobs at factories that people could raise a family on. When all the factories in that area dried up and went over seas that changed the family dynamics. People turned to selling drugs, which created addicts, then crack came around (with the help of the CIA who was helping fund the Contras).
I bet if someone really sat down and did a full analysis it would show the US government has done more harm to its people than to help.
