National decline happens to the best. Question is: What are we going to do about it?

Finally, there's no debate. America is in decline. It was easy to see before Covid-19 for anyone who cared to look. But now even the most deeply-tinted rose colored glasses can't hide the spectacle of our nation allowing hundreds of thousands of people to die because we couldn't simply make 95-cent masks, screen airplane passengers arriving from hot zones, or roll out a simple tracking and tracing app like many countries did within days of the crisis. A small army of commentators are looking for the single cause of America's decline. But the causes are numerous and diverse. The simplest and most honest way to to understand them is just this: At some point in every successful nation's rise, the institutions and organizations that made it successful eventually get old and decay–just like everything in the universe does. What's happened to America over the past several decades of decline happens to every nation. It's normal. The question is, what are we going to do about it? History shows that some nations can languish in decline indefinitely while others pick themselves up quickly. It all comes down to leadership. Know any leaders?
