COVID-19 And Failed States

The Fund for Peace has developed twelve failed state indicators, ten of which are shown here:




Pay particular attention to the "demographic pressures" and "public services" listings. Both are pertinent to what we're already seeing in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Very soon we're going to realize the US is an abject failure in these areas, perhaps even worse than many other developed nations. And if economic upheaval should affect the other ten indicators, we may be well on our way to becoming a truly failed state.

You may think such a thing impossible, but trust me ... it can happen in a New York minute.

Do you really think the Trump administration and the Pelosi congress can work together to overcome this? I sincerely doubt it. "Our" government's systemic rot is both deep and extensive.
