The Collapse of the American Empire?

Chris Hedges is brilliant and his analyses are spot on, this video is well worth watching and I am going to read his book America, the Farewell Tour.  He sees Trump as more of a symptom than the root of the problem, which boils down to corporate psychopaths having control of almost all the levers of political power in order to abuse that power to their benefit and against the interests of Americans and the rest of the world.  Hedges offers solutions but is not very optimistic they'll come about, hence the ominous title of his book.  The bottom line is, unless things change quite drastically, we're all fucked.
