Historians will look back at September 10, 2001 as the high point of the American Empire. We recovered a bit after that in 2009 but have been in full decline since 2017…

Actually I would point the beginning of America’s decline at October 1973 the first OPEC embargo. Statistics show that point was the beginning of the decline of the middle class.
