It's too late for that they already fucked up.

The future of America is a small loyal fascist middle class and the elites. Then the rest of Americans will see degradation of society and culture that creates the conditions where cheap labor can be had domestically. The elites realized they don't need a prosperous and happy populace, that's expensive. They need people to work cheaply in factories and to stop questioning them.

It's short sighted for sure, but that's where America is going. I'm leaving first chance I get, I don't care about the US, let it collapse without me.

That's a strange way of spelling "call centers and fast food joints"

That consumerist culture requires a large consumer class, bigger than just elites and some petty bourgs, you need a working class with at least some disposable income. Now that america is losing that I think they are gunning for some kind of techno-feudalism where manufacturing is brought back but like in the shittiest way possible.

Bringing back manufacturing, but with no planning and no investment

Wouldn't be surprised if someone comes up with an app for backyard pig steel smelting or basement auto transmission assembly.
