    Sadly, I worry the US needs to suffer badly if there is to be any hope of embracing real progress in the future.

      After the Great Depression happened the largest wave of worker protections and regulations were passed in US history.

      So maybe you’re not wrong, we just need a Great Depression 2 unfortunately

      Need to? Nope. Is that what will happen? Probably, looking like that’s the only way it will happen

        If it’s the only way it’ll happen, then it’s what needs to happen.

        So yes, needs to is correct.
