I’m 74. I’ve been seeing similar “studies” since I was 21...someone is always chasing that angle...a “gloom & doomer” (democrat).
Good bit of perspective there, FRiend.
Prophecies of doom are great for grabbing headlines, and often good money makers as well. Ask Al Gore or Paul Ehrlich.

THE ?: How long are the death throes? We’ve not been a Constitutional Republic since Teddy began ‘conserving’ parks (some would say Lincoln via the War Between States [not a ‘civil war’...wasn’t over D.C.\same seat of power]).
Rome fell to the hordes (like the D.C. cabal of today...WIDE open and unprotected). But, unlike then, the cabal steals from the Citizenry to give out to the locusts!
I'm a few years older and I must concur. Almost every time an article like it appears it will be by a liberal democrat.
That bunch is always seeing the darkest side of everything. They can't be happy about anything and want the whole world to be in misery with them.
Ok, oldtimer, how about a current macro perspective:
Have you ever seen a President that has made sense to so many everyday folks that is so disliked by both parties? Disliked by some very intensely, perhaps irrationally? And, if not entirely disliked by his own party, just not supported by many?
Is that not a major indicator of change on the horizon, or is it merely "chasing an angle"? (And I am in your age group.)
Oh, man, do I agree with you. I’m 55. Seen the same thing since I was a kid. I remember when some college professor somewhere pointed to American football, compared it to the gladiatorial games of Rome, and decided we were going to hell in a hand-basket. Always figured when this kinda discussion started someone, somewhere was out for grant money.
