So, now that the economy is good I had my millennial friend tell me it’s because the US is sucking up all the resources of the planet into a gigantic bubble.
Brain-washed... [sucking up resources...] and so is Russia; so is China; so is EU. It is called The World. His solution: surrender to the rest. What does he think will happen to him?
I can predict that he is a climate change supporter: redistribute our wealth to 3rd world dictators in order to save the polar bears, etc. Logic?
Where do you start with such folk? Everyone else is good except us. He is welcome to ex-patriot himself if he wants someplace better.
Look, it is a global economy. The old saying is that when the U.S. sneezes the rest of the world gets a cold. Now that Trump is rebuilding our economy and equalizing trade, prosperity will spread to those who wish to participate. Can one say that about China? About Russia? . . . It is not a perfect world, but where is the proof that we are raping the rest of the world? e.g.: we buy Saudi oil and they are trillionaires... they can break that relationship if they wish... don't hold your breath.
