#5 The middle class itself, meanwhile, is increasingly, in Kotkin's words, "proletarianized," with security vanishing and jobs moving downscale.

Many have moved out of state, or at least out of the urban areas. Small business started baling out about 20-25 years ago. Now the retirees are leaving.

Good Luck, Guv'nor Jerry.

Which IRAN = 'MAHANIST" RISING IRAN = OWG CO-SUPERPOWER IRAN is helping to create, + in which Iran will ultimately supplant or replace the US, etc. as Western Capitalism + influence collapses. IRAN + ISLAM MAKING MIGHTY INROADS INTO LATIN AMERICA + PARTS OF ASIA.
