Oddbean new post about login | logout @a0026d72 @Wormwood it’s faring fine tbh. As far as I know they’re making bank because Africa is rich and unskilled labor is cheap, and there are a lot of chinks to draw from to do the technical work. What does ‘collapse’ look like in a country with nukes? Even 90’s Russia was still untouchable because they still had their big boomy weapons.
I don't think we'll see a collapse of America, just a slow decline where everything gets shittier and shittier, and as the regime's power wanes, a few more remote areas where people form a quasi-independent state to make things less shitty.
