Stupid click bait. Expected to read about the fall of civilization in America, kinda like a fusion of Mad Max + Walking Dead. Instead read about high taxes and elderly people causing congestion on the roads.

That's what happens when economists write, they make the coolest topic boring af.

The reality of decline is going to be quite boring.

Boring,and a world worse than today in many ways, if we don't get out ahead of the failure modes.
