Now, Americans in general, the few dozen of us left
with functioning
brains, fret about it all the time. There seems to be a resurgence
in tech design and manufacturing starting here, but it remains to be
seen if it'll amount to anything. It NEEDS to, or we'll become a
third-world country.
At this point, I fear that's inevitable. The lunatics are been in
charge of the asylum, and have been for too long.
In particular, the USA, as a society, does not really value education.
One look at what teachers get paid makes that clear. They're at least
two generations into the blind leading the blind in some respects.
I think the wheel is turning. The USA has had its turn on top and is
now on its way down. In a while it'll be all "bu-but what happened? we
used to be number one!". Then they'll bottom out and start the long
slow climb back up again.
