That really would be unfortunate. Given that all of my favorite people live here, I don't don't see that happening though.

Entitlement. Nobody HAS to help you. That said, it takes a special kind of asshole not to help someone who's dying.

You can check assorted economists. They argue for and against tariffs, usually depending on their own political bias.

The future? We can't see the future. It's the human condition.
Furthermore, it's sensible to be wary of anyone who claims that they can. They're almost certainly lying to you, themselves, or both.

Also, that there's a difference between being an introvert, and just being too fearful of the world to act on your own natural inclinations.
Avoiding people doesn't necessarily mean that you have an introverted personality.

I'm just going to do my best to treat people the way that they treat me, without respect to their political views.

And here we are, going through all this trouble to create fusion reactors, when we have the solar system's *largest* fusion reactor rising in the sky every morning.
