  1.  @xEnder515  perhaps it is desperation? Changing an entire society takes decades, or a violent revolt. But your family needs financial stability now- an empty stomach will not wait for unionization. Not defending, but trying to understand another perspectivr

  3. I think that the depression will be gradual this time. The transition away from trading in dollars (largely because of sanctions over the ukraine conflict) will likely be what collapses the value of the dollar. If China, India, Russia, Arabia, start trading in basket currencies, yuan, or euros, the usd will suffer. Reserve currency status will be lost, and the stability concerns will bring about the very thing everyone was concerned about. Self fulfilling prophecy

  4.  @Zb_Calisthenic  True, but the vast majority aren't prosperous, not anymore. I have experience in 2 continents, and most Americans are only better in material things. There is a wide variety of things here, the best technology, big economy. But they struggle to give all citizens the basic things. Even in some russian villages, there is a clinic that will heal a broken leg for free. It will not be perfect, but to my understanding, it is the same in the us. The good services cost money, so most us citizens will only get average care, for a high price. And most europeans will say that the pace of life is too fast in the us. You are making so much money, but no time to enjoy any of that. It is like having a bigger house, but no keys to inside.

  5.  @elio9973  if i am not mistaken, the conclusions that can be drawn from meaninglessness are separate from nihilism. existentialism or absurdism (sometimes dadaism), are philosophical responses to this idea
