It was WWII that led to economic prosperity in the US. The war effort built up industry. Europe and Asia were in ruins. The sense of shared sacrifice encouraged hard work, and more equity. There were good investment opportunities.
Only partially correct. The 'war effort' destroyed industry and competitors outside of the US and made the whole of the world subservient to the US nazi government. That in turn meant that the americunts were able to sell coca cola all over the world, among other things...
But that's gone now. Since the 70s, at least, the US has been collapsing.
US nazi empire is collapsing? That is Bullshit. Or self-delusion. Or US military propaganda.
Smart money has left. The rich have gotten richer, and don't much need the rest. What they need is good security.
So yes, the US is fucked. Just another banana republic ;)
The US is the biggest fascist organization on the planet. It is (way) worse than a banana republic from the moral point of view. But if one considers the military and industrial/thieving performance of the US, then the US is highly succesful and not 'collapsing' in any shape or form.
