  TL;DR ~20 years best case scenario. Best case scenario unlikely due to political stagnation. No solution offered.

  Do falling birth rates make it even less sustainable? Seems like it would. Especially when combined with recent xenophobia influencing immigration policy.

  Don’t they just print more money, and the rest of the world pays the inflation repercussions due to the fact USD is the default trade currency?
