Yes, it is a steep, crash-and-burn decline. But I have not forgotten Jeremiah 18:7,8 : "The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it."
Arnaud Bertrand provides a precis of the Washington Post story on the explosive Rand Think Tank report:
"This is explosive stuff. It says, "The United States might be stumbling toward a decline from which few great powers have ever recovered."
"The study describes this decline as “accelerating” and doesn't seem optimistic about recovery: “Recovery from significant long-term national decline is rare and difficult to detect in the historical record. [...] When great powers have slid from a position of preeminence or leadership because of domestic factors, they seldom reversed this trend.”
"What causes the decline? Pretty much everything you'd expect: “military overstretch,” “self-interested and warring elites,” “Addiction to luxury and decadence,” “failure to keep pace with … technological demands,” “ossified” bureaucracy, “loss of civic virtue,” “unsustainable environmental practices”, etc.

The FDA has rejected its strongest safety warning for Covid mRNA vaccines despite acknowledging that children were killed by the products.
This news surfaced during a televised Bloomberg interview with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, who said the agency has “no plans” to apply its strongest safety warning to Covid mRNA vaccines.
In that interview, Makary confirmed that the FDA’s own safety and epidemiology centre had formally recommended a boxed warning — a step reserved, under FDA rules, for drugs with “special problems, particularly ones that may lead to death or serious injury.”
