Idk man. If the last 17 months (or the last 20+ years) wasn't gonna do it, what use is drawing a line at all?

America is deep into a terminal decline. Every system which could help it pull up is rotten. Its last slim chance at redemption was a few years ago; now the window is closed.

People can still make a living there, but not without feeding a beast which is looking to eat the world.
