Looks like things are more and more run by business men,
not by engineers.
And run by politicians.
Look at Boeing's problems with that max plane... now wheels fall off,
landing gears crumble...
US IQ is going down.
One look at the presidential candidates confirms that :-)

People will forget US ever existed and one day someone will rediscover it
and find the US natives living in tents, black warlords eating each other...
Maya empire... Roman empire, all came and went.
:-)
