WRT to US, it will be the ultra-wealthy and those in power who survive here. The US is not very good at taking care of most of its citizens, preferring instead to favor those who can buy... I mean, DONATE money to politicians. We allow bottled water companies to sink their own wells into the water table and then in times of drought continue to take water out and sell it, despite the drought. While the rest of us face water bans at those times, the bottled water companies do not! The US has moved beyond "f__k the poor" to "f__k anyone who is not ultrawealthy." Just today the Trump admin rolled back more environmental protections to allow development on protected lands, including drilling. At a time when we need to reduce use of fossil fuels, he and GOP are trying to increase the use. George Carlin said it well: "They call it the American Dream, because you'd have to be asleep to believe it."
