Otherwise, he predicts, life in the U.S. could become more difficult: mountainous debt that stunts economic growth; fewer opportunities for ordinary citizens to get ahead financially; and a worldwide lack of trust in the U.S. dollar that diminishes Americans’ purchasing power and could lower their standard of living.

The survivors had formed a group called the "Resistance" under the leadership of John Connor.
@Sven - Thanks for keeping my post “legal“. The implications for manufacturing are enormous.This is part of tech advancement. Cars are built today by robots on assembly lines. Still it requires human to programming and maintenance of the robots. Machine learning helps to speed up the iterative development process for manufacturing. I can see they would be helpful for dangerous jobs such as mining and space exploration.
I wasn't expecting FIPDX to return roughly 9% this year. I thinks there's something to be said for already being there when things turn around ...

If Trump really refuses to concede or if the Democrats win everything things will really tank. the
