If this is really the case, then the whole tactic of "use tariffs to threaten other nations to pay for the US debt" won't work at all.
Other nations do not pay tariffs. Consumers pay tariffs. Tariffs drive up prices leading to:

Realistically, If the US shows any signs of economic weakness, China will start economic action. For me that's the real sign of US weakening. And even then that's just the first sign.
Fixed,

We are, they did, the first sign has happened.

We need AI robots/drones that can deliver amazon crap and and food for fatties, then we won't have to import half of africa to do it.

If you're gonna do AI, make it proper AI you lazy hoes.

its a waste of time but its your time to piss away
So is constantly posting on a website for a 20+ year old game that you hate, but you apparently don't have much else to do with your precious time ^^ piss away

Anyways, time is relative. What matters is you spend your time doing something that brings joy to you and others. Almost Everything* is a "waste of time" but digress.

So my question is, after 12+ years, a wife, 2 kids, a mortgage, and a very intensive full time job

Very similar situation to many of the players who currently are subbed, including myself. I've found most players in groups fit into this bucket where we have real life responsibilities, and we want to enjoy the game experience for whatever time we can invest, little or large. I log in every single day (because I work remotely) but I probably play for less than an two hours per day doing tasks, sortie etc. It's fun enough and not demanding on my time to where I can get joy out of the little I do. Being a single box player means I can't get as much done solo, but I rely on trusts and friends to form groups. I don't accomplish anywhere near as much as other players, but I don't care because I don't compare myself to others. The game still has a lot of life, so long as you're willing to play with other people or set goals. Join active discord groups and coordinate play times. You'll have plenty to get done. I would say try it out if you can invest some time and have things to do in game, but if you don't find something to do, you'll probably quit and feel like the game is boring.

We are currently in that phase. Wait a year or two and see how this shakes out


Also, keep in mind that Fed just started rate cut in September, after 2 years of high rate.

So the phase you are experiencing isn't a sign of economic collapse, just normal QE > QT cycle imo.

if that were true, then why have US wages stagnated over the past 50 years? the American dream worked because everyone was getting more, until they weren't


I am confused at your main point. First you said US will "collapse", and BRICS will win. Then you said US has wage stagnation? How are they even related?

1. How does wage stagnation leads to US collapse, realistically?

2. Does BRICS suffer from wage stagnation like the US or not?

3. If they don't now, will it happen once they reach similar level of GDP as the US?

If you can answer all 3 questions above, then maybe your conclusion is grounded in reality. Otherwise it's just baseless doom and gloom.

But these last two pages have gotten way deep into social justice and comparative wages and hardly anything about AI.

I blame Rady. Dude just took every possible opportunity to rant about politics with tons of biased opinions, then you either ignore those biased opinions or respond.

I was in the exact situation as you when I returned in like...2020? Maybe earlier? I forget...

Stoped ff11 when Married 2012, kid in 2013. Came back expecting to poke around and not do much because of the massive time commitment required. What I found? Bunch of people just like me and content that is built around 2-4 free hours on YOUR time.

Today? Kids go to bed between 8 and 9.30 (depending on which kid). I log in pretty much at 830, that's when "events" start. Events are whichever people want to do that day. I also run a dyna group thurs/sun cause it's a blast.

I've never missed a single swim practice, date with wife, dinnertime, skateboarding session, trip to the beach, or lunch with friends.

Today's ff11 is built for today's ff11 player. Come back and enjoy.

Well...those billionaires also pays more tax(in terms of % in overall tax source) than average people, and donate far more money than average people when natural disasters hits.
Not here in the USA.

Sounds like they contribute to the society way more than average people to me.

The dog should wag the tail, the tail should not wag the dog.

Elon Musk and Jeff Beizos were able to build their empires because of the infrastructure of the nation they setup in, that was built off the back of current and many past generations of American workers.

You think Elon Musk and Jeff Beizos would be billionaires if they tried to do what they did in India? If Indian workers are so valuable why don't they go there instead of making sure they stay in the US?

If you're an amazing artist or writer (or businessman), the reason you were able to perfect your art and can carry it out is not becasue you're a super special wonder snowflake but because of all the infrastructure around you that lifts you up.

The police giving you safe environment and stopping people burning your house down, the sewage workers that allow you to have clean water and toilet facilities so you can concentrate on your job, the power workers that make sure you have constant energy, the medical system that keeps you healthy etc

Globalism is some BS, it's a system the mega wealthy want in order to be able to farm whatever they want from anywhere and ignore the people/society who helped them build up their empires in the first place.

It's extreme selfishness, and the act of paying taxes isn't because they want to but because they know they have to in order to be allowed to exist at all.

i.e. let Mogolophones generate every 20 hours, but let us stack more than 1. This balances how much one can ultimately grind out, but makes it more accessible for both solo, and easier to find parties.

They don't want to do this because it leads to generally higher queue times on populated servers. People tend to stack their runs back to back. It's not so convenient to have extra KI if you're waiting 30-40 mins between runs... worth?
