Even here at home, we always get to hear how great America and Americans are and what a fantastic nation we built (only to start tearing it down, but that’s another story) - yet, it’s rare to acknowledge that it wasn’t the people, it was this country’s physical size and riches of resources (and occupants that were easily eliminated) - that’s what made America a great nation.
The people just had to show up and go to work. But, that was then and this is now, as soon as those riches get thinned out a bit, things started unraveling. Now we are getting into the age of reckoning.
