Do you think there is confidence left in America
People don't want to take risk these days. There are too many followers and not enough leaders.
There is no confidence in the existing leadership among those Americans who create prosperity. They have retrenched to wait out the election and see what comes next.
If change comes in Washington, then hope returns to the people who still earn instead of rent-seek. That will make a noticeable difference. Whether or not it develops into a renewal of American progress is something we will have to find out later.
I agree, now its time to play the waiting game. I hope it restores the confidence back.
Confidence in America has eroded in recent years due the uprising of China, India and South East Asia. Americans are losing their jobs to these countries. While America is still the center of innovation and technology, I'm afraid this won't last because more and more American kids are shunning higher education in science and technology, while other nations are fast catching up. So America is in danger of losing its competitive edge.

The ongoing debate about the H-1B visa program has sparked some attention, but much of the current media coverage is missing the broader point raised by both Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. While they acknowledge the importance of addressing the immediate need for foreign talent through visa...

My hubs that are holding up are the ones with comments. I only have a few and they're usually either book reviews or recipe related. I don't include comment capsules on any others usually. And product hubs don't generally get comments anyways. And not all of them are doing well. Just a thought in...

I've been experimenting with different hub lengths and was wondering if anyone has found what they consider to be the best length that a hub should be. I'm experimenting with hubs that are between 1000-1200 words, whereas before I was publishing hubs that were between 600-750 words. Has...
