agree with you that history is a valuable tool for learning from the mistakes of others. It's clear that the Roman Empire made some serious missteps that ultimately led to its collapse, and we would be wise to avoid repeating those same mistakes.
I also share your concern about the future of America. The country is facing a number of serious challenges, including economic inequality, political gridlock, and climate change. If we don't find a way to address these challenges, it's possible that America could go the way of Rome.
The next decade will be very telling. We would almost need a complete reset of the economy to get us out of the mess we're in because the Fed won't be able to just print money to keep us afloat forever.
