At 9.50pm AEDT yesterday, there was a sudden spike in trading on the oil and S&P 500 futures market.

6.50am New York time is an unusual time for a rush on trades on West Texas Intermediate May futures.

But it showed that all of a sudden, a substantial sum of money was bet on oil prices dropping and the stock market rising.

    I fully agree with your goals (last paragraph). Literally all I was disagreeing with was the finality of it, that your country is permanently wrecked. It is currently wrecked, but nothing is fully permanent, and with enough time (talking a decade at an absolute minimum, more likely multiple decades) and people commiting real effort, this is fixable.

      We have different meanings of the word country, is all

      The United States is dead. The people where it once stood could make a good society again, it will just not be anything like the one before.
