Summary:
How was complex life able to develop on the inhospitable early Earth?
At the beginning there must have been ribonucleic acid (RNA) to carry the first genetic information.

To build up complexity in their sequences, these biomolecules need to release water.
On the early Earth, which was largely covered in seawater, that was not so easy to do.

 Millions of legal and illegal migrants put pressure on housing. And so
does tons of Chinese fentanyl.
 

China is now way ahead of you 'merricans.

 How so? It's run by and for thugs.

The US is run for and by rich people who don't see the advantage of paying and educating their work force well enough to make them maximally productive. China has the same problem, even if the ruling minority rationalises it right to rule with different arguments

US IQ is falling, its debt (mostly owned by China and Japan)
increases every year.

 The us debt is bad, but not as bad as many other countries. It will be
inflated away.

Dream on.

All US really exports is weapons and war and unrest.

 And oil, NG, coal, machinery, airplanes, electronic components, food.

0il and natural gas are shrinking markets, and in aircraft Airbus now outsells Boeing (partly because new Boeing aircraft have taken to having bits fall off in flight). Electronic components were never a US monopoly and global warming will play havoc with everybody's food production even if you don't believe in it.
