    The US has a failing real estate market from their need to import large number of immigrants of non-European origin to replace the depleted child slaves in Indian Residential fake schools that secretly continued after 1997 and the stolen inheritance in the fake cultural assimilation of Indigenous First Nation people; does this mean that that US is in a bad economic position as well? What do Pax Americana always use the word of "centralized" to define Communist countries and former Communist countries without proper definition? Is "centralized" a derogatory word for rule of law and strong accountable government?
