Yup. I'd have done well if I stayed. The reasons that I'd have done well ensure that the vast majority would do very..very poorly.
I think people would be surprised at what does (and doesn't) find a place in the third world. We certainly wouldn;t want the US to fall so far as the second world tier. It's untenable to american culture...and arent we supposed to be making america great or some such shit?
As far as socio-economic mobility...the US has long stagnated at a level close to medieval europe, but so long as the lowest rung is still first world..folks aren't likely to notice or give a shit. Let just one rung of society fall below first world standards and see how those assholes act.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
