The west shutting down borders and with AI and automation improvements you won’t need mass cheap labor from abroad in distant future
. The east never really accepted immigrants and leave you in limbo and no future. Somalia headed for bad place huge population with arid land with limited resources and no economic opportunity. This recipe for lots of bloodshed and destabilization
I have to disagree, we have considerable resources, E.V are a gimmick, petrol cars will continue to exist into the future, we have oil, natural gas, gypsum, iron ore, copper, gold, kaolin, limestone, quartz, silica sand, tantalum, tin, and uranium, just to name a few, we could easily get our economy up but with the politicians we have who needs enemies.
