I would recommend reading up on American history a bit more. The US has always been a regionalist country, with a weak federal government. As for the decline of the US empire — not sure what you mean here, but if you mean the waning of American influence abroad, that’s already happening and it’s voluntary. If you mean the decline of the country internally, such as reduction in quality of life and decline in GDP/output, this is already happening with the demise of globalization, but the US will be the least impacted, not most, owing to strong demographics, variation in climate, rich natural resources, and ability to integrate immigrants.

- bmismyname 4y agoDon't get me started on traffic laws. People lost their minds on the roads around the time the COVID lockdowns started. I've always been anti-car, but the kind of insanity I see all the time now (people running red lights, driving on the wrong side of the road to go around traffic, driving on the shoulders on the freeway to bypass congestion) happens almost every single time I get in a car now. In particular, people here run red lights and drive on the wrong side of the road to make left turns constantly. It sounds anecdotal, but there's plenty of data to back this up: https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/early-estimate-2021-traffic-fatalities https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/early-estimate-2021-tra...
