Let me make is simple, the US isn't even remote close to falling part regardless of how many articles are written bemoaning the wealth held by a few hundred and even thousands of people.
The simple fact is there is so much wealth spread around the population as a whole that it provides an incredible buffer from it all coming apart.
Better yet, the poor we have to today are far better off than just a few generations ago. The difference is now we can easily find them and we also see just how government at all levels fails them. It isn't because we have billionaires it is because politician serve themselves first and only bring up the poor when they need more in their own coffers which magically still never fixes the issue with the poor.
Look at it from this standpoint, what nations around this planet have unraveled? Even Venezuela somehow fell off the RADAR of many but that may because their social experiment showed the folly of too much government intervention. It also showed the world that the one percent of any country is truly their politicians.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoYes we may be 'too comfortable' to have revolution etc. But there's some blind faith being put in 'employment', simultaneously automation has erased the need for most jobs. Administrations that don't understand this, risk stripping the comfort from a growing number of disaffected citizens. With empty goals of 'great again' and unfettered corporate action. Any nation is only 3 meals away from revolution, said some famous guy.
