Is this syndrome similar to pierogi paralysis? I am missing large parts of my 20s due to my wife introducing me to them.

‘They’ do want it to happen. Ordinary USians are gettng uppity and need to be taken down a peg.

The global elite don’t really need anything specific from the US anymore. For a brief moment, the world needed our higher education system, which is why anyone under 60 who went to grad school had lots of non-US folks in their cohorts. Those folks have gone back home in large part so there are plenty of skilled experts in critical fields internationally.

The US has no remaining unique resources, be they skilled people or natural resources. So we need to be dealt with since many of us still hold on to quaint notions like ‘freedom’, ‘autonomy’ and ‘living wage’.

About what time should I come over?

Wow, thanks for that. I struggled for decades and also had a difficult time after a breakthrough. I describe it as being released from a long stint in prison, but there is no one to pick you up at the gate. There’s still a long walk ahead of you.

Yeah things are much better now, but my life path is still altered forever, there’s no going back.

What the Hell even is that?
