I mean, the rate at which people are dying and becoming disabled due to covid can't be sustainable, can it? This country was running on fumes to begin with. Surely a country with an infamously terrible healthcare system, an economy that runs everything with as little margin for error as possible, and a government that has lost its ability to respond to any major disaster that can't be shot at cannot withstand this kind of catastrophe? What do you think things are going to look like five years from now?

    The big shock will be when people who are young and skilled DON’T want to bother trying to make some money in the US. Which is inevitable.

    Inevitable as in its already happening.

      Not quite. The US still hits its immigration limits.

      I wonder if the state department will ever allow there to be a moment where there is more space than there is demand. As part of the show is “we sell out of immigration spaces immediately!”
