hey YouTube Alex here and in today's video I want to answer the question why am I not worried about the US collapsing or falling apart number one is that it's out of my control a wise person can achieve
a sense of peace from cultivating indifference to things outside of their control I am not a high-powered politician or lawyer or doctor or CEO I simply don't have much decisionmaking Authority in the United States I'm not in charge
of the Federal Reserve I'm not in charge of the large Banks I'm not in charge of the country in general whether or not the country is successful it's not Reliant upon my efforts at all I was also raised
by my grandmother who is a narcissist and has control issues and things way outside of her control cause her a great deal of anxiety the number two reason is the US military the US military is part of what
back stops the dollar if you don't go along with the game plan well we see what happens when people don't go along with their game plan the US military is the most powerful military that has ever existed in
the history of humanity the country pours trillions of dollars into the military budget other countries often have the opportunity to buy equipment from previous years there's not only a lot of money to be made with the military but
there's also a lot of security for the dollar and the interests of the powers that be in the United States to be able to maintain control number three Mass immigration policies ensure that there is a steady and consistent
demand for dollars you have people that are showing up in the United States that they need a house they need a car they need furniture they need all these things and the only way to get those things in
the United States is to acquire dollars through working this is where the line they're willing to do jobs Americans aren't comes from because Americans people who have been in America for a while tend to move move up they
tend to get better jobs they tend to accumulate more stuff they tend to be less desperate for work in which the conditions are not good or the wages are not high and so when people say oh nobody wants
to work it's not that people don't want to work it's that the people that are already there or from there have a higher expectation of working conditions of wages they want to earn a living wage and they have
options right when you have this policy once again I'm not critiquing immigrants I'm not critiquing the people that choose to come I've traveled all over the world I've seen that the standard of living even for the poor is
quite High compared to many countries that I visited but if we're talking simply in terms of sustainability collapse or not collapse in this way it does help to continue the economy or continue the country and that you don't
have people who are just simply going without services that they need America is also responsible for a brain drain in some of these countries where you attract the best and the brightest people then those countries have fewer doctors
those countries have fewer Engineers those countries have fewer skilled people to do certain roles that would really help those countries out number four the American dream is still sold around the world via Hollywood I've been to a number
of different countries I remember when I first came to Thailand and there was some American music playing and I asked the German guy I was hanging out with wow that's strange American music is popular here in Thailand and
he asked me where is American music not popular so America has this kind of soft power overseas where you have people that have this belief at times delusional that America is the land of opportunity and I'm not saying
it's not I'm just saying I think that if you want a lot of opportunity in America in 2024 you need a specialized in demand skill set you're not going to come to America you're not going to come to
America and you're not going to get as far ahead unless you know what those in demand skill sets are and you're young and healthy enough to be able to jump on those opportunities you'll notice that the immigration policy
is typically pushing for young people people of working age the United States is not trying to attract people at retirement age I think part of why the American dream is so popular is that people feel that just moving
to another country will solve their problems I'm not saying that it won't help a lot of people to get ahead I'm not saying that they're not they don't have some level of Truth and thinking that but I think
it's almost like especially people from secular societies that may not have a a monotheistic outlook on life well it's not found in a being it's found in a place and so if I go to this place then everything
will work out for me it works out for a lot of people there's also a lot of people it doesn't work out for and you're not going to necessarily hear those people that it doesn't work out for talking
a lot because on social media we want to show this idealized world or this extreme where it's either the worst thing ever or the best thing ever and there's not really much in between it's not popular to say
ah it's pretty good it's got some issues it's not as bad as it could be it's not as good as it could be that's not really something that sells all that well the number five reason is that if
the US does fail I may be too old for it to matter it's one thing if the country collapses when you're 20 it's another thing entirely when you're 60 or 70 who cares at that point you've lived a
full life hopefully by that point you've gotten to do most of what you wanted to do in life I'm not saying that wouldn't suck for people with families I don't want anybody to suffer needlessly I think it would
be a terrible tragedy for the US to totally fall apart it's provided a lot for me and my family in terms of unique opportunities and interesting people and scientific discoveries you look at all the you look at all
the amazing inventions that have come out of the United States it has been a shining beacon on the top of the hill for a long time I don't know if that will continue forever these have been five reasons
why I'm not worried about the US collapsing at least in my lifetime I I don't know how reassuring this will be but let me know what you think down in the comments do you agree with these points do
