Why Making America Great Again Won’t Save America
Autopsy of America by Seph Lawless
Over my lifetime, I’ve watched globalization destroy entire American cities, reducing them to absolute ruins. Similar to globalization, a tidal wave of automation will soon hit the world economy, driving down the cost of goods and services at the expense of millions of jobs, which will have widespread ramifications of catastrophic proportions throughout the entire World. This wave of automation has the propensity to devastate the American economy.

Perhaps no other nation will suffer the burden of automation more than the U.S., based largely on the fact that America hasn’t addressed the issue or devised a proper course of action for dealing with it, as it continues to be ignored by politicians, the media, and the general public.
Many financial experts believe the threat of automation is inevitable, and has the potential to destroy our economy, our capitalist system, and our way of life.
The reason America will suffer the most from this potential tragedy is because the U.S. epitomizes capitalism, and that governing structure is doomed to fail when the crisis of widespread automation takes hold causing millions of Americans to lose their jobs, and there are no new jobs to offer them. The rift between the rich and poor will grow astronomically, and tensions will rise to unprecedented levels across the U.S.
Capitalism in America has led to monumental successes, as well as catastrophic failures. The rise of automation in America could mean the demise of capitalism in America, as it will cause the economy to collapse in on itself, and there is no plan in place to recover or survive.
If that happens, blood will be on the hands of the avaricious American capitalists and greedy politicians that enabled the capitalists to thrive at the expense of the betterment of the American people and the United States of America.
