I used to think that the US was a GREAT country from about 1950 to 1975. In about 1975 I found out that US wage earners were actually falling backward in earnings due to inflation. If today, I was age 22, I would travel around Europe and Australia and New Zealand - I would see if I liked the weather and the people. Then, if I liked one country I would see if I could move there as a visa worker or to go for citizenship. The US will remain a power in the world militarily and economically, but it ranks pretty low on "quality of life" issues compared to other countries.
........I also predict near-future problems and changes from today to about 2026. IMO it is about a 50% probability that by 2026 the US is NOT even classified as a Democracy.
.........And after 2 mass murders in 10 days, NOTHING will change. If anything, people will buy more guns, which will equal more crime and more MASS MURDERS. America will "keep on, keeping on". I just HOPE that it does NOT reach you and yours or me and mine! Good luck.
