Part 2/2
And you also have Facebook wanting to do their own currency...
The US have to get rid of their central bank nonsense, or at least give them much less power, they started with naive wishes "oh lets let them do this and this and that so we won't feel the pain of a bubble again" just made things worse ... was so obvious it would but whatever ... And also, they have to get rid of all controlling tech giants.
And the ethnical or "fairness" issue they have in that country is only going to get worse.
USA versus its coasts cold civil war is the minimum to expect imo.
Emerging/re-emerging economies will probably be way to go investment wise i n the future.
The US has to take care of their many issues first, then they will bounce back, but that is in a pretty long time. If it splits in 2 with east coast + west coast together would that work I wonder? Same country but lands so far away.
As for emerging economies I believe the ones too look for are going to be the ones in countries situated at 30°N to 60°N (maybe up to 70°N with global warming) and 30°S to Antartica.
So you have South Africa after their recessions are over, or never, North Africa, Ancient soviet countries are so obviously going to go back to strong economies, NOT all the Asia desert countries (Khazakstan etc), North Korea if they ever do a revolution, Argentina maybe, Jordanie, these are the ones I can think of, not that many.
From historical evidence, the countries close to the equator are too hot too full of mosquitoes to ever be economical powers. Apart from Singapore and Hong Kong, every single economical city in the top 100 is located in 30-60 latitudes.
With big tech improvements (for example China is turning deserts into fertile lands), maybe the barren lands can become strong? Good luck with glocal warming thought...
So here you have it.
Going to get some popcorn, see how octopus - er I mean google - is going to react to that Senator move. Also, shouldn't the FBI investigate? And emmm idk, send them to jail for high treason?
