Unfortunately, your assessment is very correct. There will be no solution and only a slow decline as previous systems become obsolete and there no on to fix or upgrade to better systems.

This country is producing more Tik Tok stars than engineers that can sustain civilization.

What a confident proclamation that is backed up by nothing, aside from your limited perspective.

Name a successful plane developed recently by US military or commercial enterprises?

[robotresearcher]

Boeing 787 series. Young in plane years. Best airliner in the sky.

SpaceX makes working spacecraft.

787 should have been a straight forward simple twin engine jet. Yet, it had Billions of dollars in cost overruns and still has major manufacturing safety issues. https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/09/09/boeings-woes-mount...

This country built Saturn 5 rocket, 50 years ago. Landed astronauts on the moon, with moon buggy and golf clubs.

Now we can barely launch basic satellites. How is this progress?

There’s a reasonable chance you typed this on a pocket computer/communicator with an armful of MRNA vaccine in an electric car.

Which country built the pocket computer/communicator? Which country built the electronics, circuit boards, cables, batteries, housing and fastening screws?

Which country built the components and systems and subsystems that go into manufacturing an electric car?

Which country has lithium, rare earth metal processing capabilities critical in manufacturing all modern electronic systems?

Which country built the components and subsystems in the vaccine manufacturing plants?

Decades ago, US had the education system to move millions of people through manufacturing and engineering pipeline to build all above things.

Now, that US education system does not exist. The manufacturing base does not exist. The engineering pipeline does not exist.

We produce more dropout Tik Tok stars than Professional Engineers that develop critical cooling cores, that can withstand heat and stress thresholds in modern military aircraft, and master welders with 20 years of experience that can weld specialty metal alloys in compact designs.

It’s not just aircraft. Do you know who works on water treatment plants that provide clean drinking water to millions of people in US? These guys will be retiring in few years. Who are going to replace them? Who are going to do the hard and difficult job of maintaining these critical systems?
