We can't even compete in the information age. Third world countries
like India are taking our "call center" jobs and programming jobs, etc.
We will soon have nothing to sell anyone. Then all the wags will say
"Who could have known?". Then we will become a third world country.
No country stays great forever. Look at past history. We are no
exception. Look at the last days of the Roman empire. The excesses
continued up to the end. It will be the same here.
