If the loop gain of an oscillator is slightly over 1.00,
oscillations gain amplitude. Just under 1.00, they die out.

Pity. Cuban rum was great. I could buy Havana Club rum when I was in
the USSR.

I've been in several giant hurricanes and one tornado and one big
earthquake, and a rescue mission to Louisiana just after Katrina. All
that was orderly, organized, and the regions recovered quickly. Some
people evacuated the coastal cities and had to sleep in tents or cars,
or the houses of strangers, for a few days when all the motels filled
up.

After Hurricane Katrina, people were driving to local gas stations,

When power failed in the biggish 1989 earthquake, we had neighborhood

Sorry to disappoint, but the USA is not in decline. And we still invent

And as to drugs, from:
 https://americanaddictioncenters.org/addiction-statistics Quick Facts
 on Drug Addiction According to the 2023 United States National Survey
 on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH):
 48.5 million (16.7%) Americans (aged 12 and older) battled a substance
 use disorder in the past year.1 10.2% of Americans 12 and older had an
 alcohol use disorder in the past year.1 About 27.2 million Americans 12
 or older (9.7%) reported battling a drug use disorder in the past
 year.1 That same year, 7.5 million (2.7%) of Americans 12 and older
 struggled with both alcohol and drug use disorders simultaneously.1
 20.4 million American adults (7.9%) suffered from both a mental health
 disorder and a substance use disorder, or co-occurring disorders in the
 past year.1
 
 
Not in decline? You must be joking or on some?

  And you sanction China?

Timely. Many countries have been quietly divesting themselves of dollar-
denominated securities owing to what happened to those held by Russia.
When you weaponise a currency and your foreign debt, as the US has
recently done, you better expect some blowback. Consequently, we have the
BRICS conference this coming week (ends on Thursday IIRC) and it is
rumoured they're on the point of announcing a new reserve currency to
compete with the dollar for the settlement of international trade. This is
also what is believed to be behind the current bull market in gold, since
that commodity is expected to form at least part of the backing for the
new currency. That could pose a threat to the dollar's monopoly, since the
greenback is underpinned by nothing beyond the faith people have in it.
Expect fireworks....
