Dear @cryptographic

All the points you mention are relevant. There is no doubt that difficult times are coming for the world in general, and in the particular case of the United States, as a world power, it is not good for it to be negatively affected by bad policies, since it has repercussions all over the world.
The pandemic is not over yet, the effects of it are still present and will continue to be felt in many ways.
Yours, Piotr
