Philadelphia just got its 500th homicide of the year, now that doesn't seem like a big deal to most of you, but its the biggest deal, because its the most homicides philly got in one year since its existence. Also let me remind you, its fucking november, we got 5 more weeks left in the year. Its also a horrifying bellweather because if Philly broke the record in november that means most major cities will be breaking their murder records in the next couple weeks, and the US in general will break its record before the end of the year.

this leads to Another thing i don't see being mentioned which is US population growth, from what i'm seeing we're at the stage where the government and media is deliberately fucking with parameters to make sure the population has in fact grown this year, in 2020 if they actually measured from Jan 1st to December 31st its obvious the population went into negative numbers, and mind you thats with all the immigrants and non-closed borders, if you just factored in the natived born population this countries' population would be dropping like a fucking stone.

That again leads to the problem of 2021, if they couldn't keep the lid on when covid-related deaths (official and unoffical) were much smaller and before the economy and government services went to shit, imagine how bad shits going to be going when we're breaking records on murders, drug overdoses, heart attacks, and covid deaths.
We also haven't hit the covid baby bust yet either, but all signs point to it dropping under 3.6 million, how much is yet to be determined but its still a 40 year low, in fact only 8 years has the US had less than 3.5 million births (since WW2) and those years are basically regarded as some of the worst in US history (1970s) and the worst years to have been born in general, and let me remind you that a 3% drop in births during the lockdown year would be absurdly optimistic, a 14% drop in births would mean 2021 would have the fewest births in modern US history.
That also forces the question of what does that possibly mean for multiple industries that rely on constant growth, more consumers buying their crap more people attending their services, etc. a lot harder to get more people attending your college when you and every other college is forced to compete for the same handful of students.
TL;DR Between fewest births and most homicides since ww2, every alarm bell should be going off right now in terms of how fucked the US is, when kids study the fall of the US there will be snot nosed brats going "if i was alive back then i would have left the country when i saw those numbers, stupid americans"
