The United States has been a powerhouse and strong in the eyes of the world after the Spanish-American War when the U.S. acquired nine U.S. territories and the Philippines before the turn of the century. Even after WWI and WWII, the U.S. became a world economic power and a reserve currency. Peter Turchin wrote an article titled “America IS Headed Towards Collapse” on The Atlantic website.
Damon Linker, a reporter from The Week, wrote an article titled “Are we witnessing the fall of the United States? As he stated, the U.S. has taken a position where other nations question the standing of the U.S., the question of whether the world should continue to use the U.S. dollar as a world currency, current administrative policies, massive computer hacks by the U.S. enemies, increase violence, increase homicides, breakdown of public order, not following the rule of law. Economic disruption, inflation, overregulation, protest against law enforcement, and deterioration of city infrastructure.
President George H. Bush was able to make a deal with the six oil araba states in the Gulf., which reinforced that when oild sold on the international markets, to create the petro-dollar to strengthen the U.S. dollar. The U.S. Congress so occupied in spending money or governing money to support a war or starting a war.? The U.S. has economy has been based on spending money for wars.
The U.S. is overburden by a deficit of 34 trillion dollars and we are not able to pay it back to creditors. We have a strong industrial military complex.? No one knows what will happen due to Higher cost of food, fuel, place to live, higher cost of cars, insurance, and other expenses in our country. It seems that the more it cost to pay for items in the U.S., our quality of life is deteriorating. This is why many people are leaving loser states like California, Illinois and New York, due to over regulations, overspending, excessive states taxes, unfriendly business environment, or anti-business environment, that encourages businesses to leave the state.
Just California and New York, two losing states according Kevin O’ Leary says states that have unfavorable business environment will lose. States like Florida, Tennessee, and Texas, will fare much better, because such states have lower state taxes, less regulations and more business friendly with incentive to relocate to a more business friendly environment.
New York State has lost 160 business that have closed up or relocate since 2020. Already six billionaires are not investing capital or expanding businesses and going to more friendly business states, less taxes and much less regulations. Stores in San Fransico has closed many stores due to increase thefts and robberies, and state laws will not allow anyone who steals $1,000 or less to be arrested and prosecuted, the same is happening in Chicago and in New York City. The State of New York has already had up to three million people move away from the state.
Truckers are delivering less, some because of the Manhatten Superior Court decision on the former president. The other reason is that it is so hard to operate a tractor-trailer rig, the streets are narrow, it is congested, too many streets to take a wrong turn, and then get pulled over by the police and citating thr truck driver. When I was sent to NYC four times, I hated going there, so after a while, I quite driving trucks professionally. I would rather drive in LA than in NYC, at lease as a driver you have room to turn and manuver on the streets and highways.
Now many millionaires are leaving the State of New York and they are taking their money. NYC is no longer seen as an investment capital, but Miami Florida is becoming the new American financial capital. The quality of life has gone down in California, Illinois and New York. This also why many Americans and retirees are opting to move to Mexico, Central America, South America, and parts of Europe, where in the larger cities your quality of life is stable, because people eat healthy, and cost is more affordable to live. Even in Mexico there are places you really should not be at, but by asking questions, traveling and asking expats and locals what are the safe places and which ones are not. You just have to research what part of safe rural America you want to live or live as a U.S. expat and researched that location, about medical care, crime, cost, and monthly living expenses.
Alfred McCoy, a reporter for the Salon website, wrote “How America will collapse (by 2025). The political division among Americans has separated us and not united us as one nation. He states that global dominance is ending for America; I wish it were not the case. We may see it in our lifetime, or it could take one to three decades for the end, with the added fire of domestic unrest and not enough money to take care of or support everyone. He states that America will fall from first place as an economic power to second place, with the ill-educated younger generation, current brilliant scientists, technicians, and engineers retiring, and no new talent to replace them. English will continue to be the language to conduct commercial and business.
By 2008, the U.S. had fallen from number one to number three in global merchandising exports.

10. South Korea
Education in these countries concentrates on math, science, reading, STEM education, and learning additional languages to prepare students for the global competitive market. The United States is still ranked among the nations since students are ready to attend local colleges and universities. Incredibly, many students come to the U.S. for higher education, where the U.S. is still number one.
Can the decline of the U.S. be avoided? Probably not, because of internal political conflicts and external pressures from other nations. The bottom line is that Americans need to consider reducing personal debt. Many Americans have moved away from the U.S. and have increased their quality of life in large cities in other countries that have abundant mass public transportation and no need to own a car, medical care equal to that of the U.S., healthier foods with little or no GMO’s or harmful chemicals, and fewer regulations. The question is how long these countries will continue to be stabilized. Working remotely online as a digital NOMAD seems to be the best option to live in another country, and many countries offer digital NOMAD visas or retiree visas, like in the Republic of Panama. Panama offers a unique discount retiree card of up to 30% off on restaurants and entertainment. Many EurEuropeountries, especially Eastern Europe, offer even more digital NOMAD visas.
