No, it doesn't. What few resources are actually accessible are fairly small and mostly precious metals. The United States has plenty of mineral wealth, it just doesn't bother extracting it because, for now, it's cheaper to buy from Africa. Or Australia. Or the PRC. Or Saudi Arabia. When the time comes, we will strip mine the Rockies and build a bridge over the man-made Continental Rift.
The only problem is that people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk might actually win and the United States surrenders completely to PRC rule. Social Credit Scores for everyone and a commissar on every Million Program apartment flat.
apparently there are million program apartment flats in sweden
but why wouldn't there be, i guess (well uh, this)
Yes I was memeing that.
Except the difference is a million flats, rather than a million apartments. As in like, actual multi-story buildings. Occupancy of 150-200 3-4 person families I guess?
Because America has a housing problem.
The commissar is there to ensure that American citizens don't renege on their agreement for social welfare by denouncing the great charity of the CPC with Rude Slander or whatever. If you do, you get evicted or sent to Wyoming to mine uranium I guess. I'd be fine if it were D.C. calling the shots for Rude Slander, but not Beijing. The PRC doesn't have enough rules based lawyerism to keep its commissars in check so it's chock full of toxic leaders and kleptocrats whereas D.C. is chock full of rules lawyers to keep the less morally scrupulous people down. Mostly.
The only problem is America might not have a million spare rules lawyers to be commissars for each apartment flat. So maybe a Federal Commissar for each county instead IDK.
