Living in america, working in tech, with zero desire to make more money than I need to live off of, feels like spending my life in a slow-motion train wreck. Often times it feels very hard to feel any hope for this country, and possibly humanity if nobody can stop us.

I wouldn't rely on other countries to do something positive for humanity although they might play a positive role if there is some movement in that direction in the US itself.

For better or worse, only the US can lead the way, no matter up or down.

It's not so much my relying on countries stopping the US so much as other people finding true alternatives to the products we produce. Perhaps the tariffs will end up producing such a result.
