re: America has turned into a Shithole

We've been heading to third-world status for close to 2 decades now. The problem is we have no native talent or brains in the U.S. anymore. The only people smart enough to keep our civilization going are Chinese nationals (or Indians). And they are barely keeping it going.

Meanwhile China's cities look like something out of a sci-fi novel. Beautiful, high-tech, super clean, super modern, and zero crime. Of course, you have zero rights over there, but still.

The left's criticism that we spend way too much on the military (and foreign aid) is a valid one. We blow through too many trillions defending other countries. It's time to invest here.
