The phrase "The World's Industrialized Nations" ......

[Stinky The Clown]

...... surely can no longer include the US, can it?

I mean .... what the hell do we even make anymore ...... except trouble?

Also, on a related note, its is very much like pissing into the wind when American environmentalists urge "American Industry" to reduce their carbon footprint ........ uh ....... what industry might that be?

[Pavulon]

1. A gdp 3 X the closest nation

makes the US quite relevant. The us is the single most powerful economy in recorded history..

No matter what goes on in the previous and next 10 years that will not change.

5. I can't find anything made here anylonger

Other than bombs and jets and bullets and ways to tear down and destroy life and destroy the environment .

I guess our economy is comprised of stores and grocery chains and corporate farms . and the service industry and the movie industry .

I'm not sure of anything these days , I'm not even sure if this isn't a hell on earth . It's surreal that I do know .
