Late-stage empire behaviour.

Funding wars you can’t afford.

Skyrocketing debt.

Increasing inflation.

Massive wealth inequality.

Money for wars but not for your own citizens.

Destroying free speech.

Making it illegal to protest against a specific foreign nation.

Taking people off the streets with the secret police, aka ICE.

Supporting a genocide.

Distrust in financial markets.

Having markets that are rigged.

Insider trading by government officials.
