If the U.S. Enters Recession – 10 States Will Fall First | Wolff Analysis

marketamerica.market462 mins



What happens if the U.S. economy tips into recession? According to Professor Richard Wolff, the impact won’t be evenly spread across the country. Some states are far more vulnerable due to weak industries, fragile job markets, and heavy reliance on government aid.

In this urgent analysis, Wolff breaks down which **10 U.S. states could collapse first** if recession strikes—and why policymakers, Wall Street, and corporate elites are ignoring the warning signs.

📊 Key factors driving state-level vulnerability:

* Dependence on service-based and low-wage jobs
* High levels of household and government debt
* Housing market bubbles in key regions
* Weak labor protections and shrinking wages
* Corporate tax breaks draining public funds

🔥 This video explains how recession fallout will devastate workers and communities, and why the cracks in capitalism are hitting some states harder than others.

  15. Why does the transcript show the word, " cookies", when you actually mean, Kentucky???😂 Get your act together, BEFORE you begin to instruct us. Otherwise, we'll assume that your lack of preparedness will also appear in your content, and we'll simply dismiss you as merely more front porch chit chat.😮

  17. Professor knows more than most. Helpful to hear it like it is. Not too many have that skill to tell it like it is. Impressive listening skills too. Robinson does such an outstanding job of listening, he brings the very best out of the Professor. Listening is a skill. The art of listening. Being a good listener.

  21. Remember how you voted for what you currently have. Hate is extremely expensive, and you are not rich enough to survive all 1424 days. We are not even 300 days into 2025. Was it really easier to hate that black lady? Consequences and karma fueled by your hate. The FAFO list is backlogged.

  26. I have been on a quest to overcome the second law of thermodynamics. for the past 60 years since being inspired as a teenager by reading View from a height, Doubleday 1963, a science anthology by Issac Asimov. He first wrote very convincingly about the  principle that energy is conserved followed by a less convincing section on the concept of entropy.

    The concept of entropy is stronngly accepted to this day after being promoted by a prominent astrophysicist, science popularizer, and Quaker Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington who considered the second law of thermodynamics to be the most fundamental and universally certain law in all of science. He believed that entropy never decreased so the universe faces an ultimate heat death of stagnation so somehow the universe had to start with low entropy. Eddington had a deep metaphisical side so he also believed that God was beyond the relm of science. Let me put it this unusual way, the second law will fail before God is disproven. Furthermore, God would then be supreme over an eternal non doomed universe.

    Because the second law is intensely accepted it is hard to find people that want to prototype devices that may falsify the second law. Therefore I am posting this essay as a comment on YouTube to attract teams or exceptional individuals with access to suites of complex equipment to build exploratory prototypes that will prove the concept then home in on a good recipe then fine tune for small scale production. A lot of small sample working device trinkets can then be presented and handed out widely to people at media conferences. The mininimum useful size would power a LED in an eyecup with everything controllable by dummy versions and
    Inspectable.

    Go ahead and start to build something indspired by this introduction without my involvement. We can later meet when there is solid crowd verification.

    Host, thank you for hosting my essay promising near free autonomous electricity exactly paired with unstoppable refrigeration, a literal power equalizer. People who can maintain their comforts of life autonomously and flourish are harder to subjugate to inferior social conditions and more likely to build synergistic colaborations in a flourishing civilization. They could become guerillas of peace. Meanwhile perverted guerillas of war could become more deadly so society should prepare early quality intervention anticipating the need. 

    Let's reframe Earth's low diversity abundant ambient heat as a thermal   energy waypoint between heat and other forms of energy.

    Energy changes form without gain or loss. Uniformity or diversity is not, in itself, a form of energy.  Therefore entropy is an extraordinary claim burdening the law that energy is conserved. Conserved but not usable makes reduced sense that is widely accepted.

    Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be almost free. Chips could have energy recycling built in.
    This would improve performance and lower cost.

    Full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with self sufficient EMP resistant LED light  automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, factories, nonstale dwellings, self contained elevators, safe rooms, and horizontal transports.Some electrical equipment groups could be consolidated into local networks when suitable. Liquid nitrogen cooled superconducting networks would become practical.

    In a flourishing civillization, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles, lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robots and robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminous signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people as individuals or larger social groups see fit.

    If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or teratons of greenhouse gasses out of our environment, instalations using devices that convert ambient heat into electricity can hypothetically be scaled up do it with a choice of comsequences including many beneficial ones.

    Refugee communities would be buildable quickly. Fire safes would preserve contents to 1000 C for years.

    A simple rectifier crystal can,
    just short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage, a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson (observation) Nyquest (theory) thermal electrical noise. Max Plank anticipated that ambient thermal noise would become usable with advances in technology. 

    I don't see how the second law of thermodynamics can implicate itself into preventing this from working.

    In 1973 I filed for US patent 3890161A DIODE ARRAY for an array of metal1/ insulator/metal2 diodes that refrigerate while concurrently producing electric power. The patent was granted in 1975. It was opened to the public domain in 1992. Development is in the public domain while granting me writing attribution.

    The plausible net electrical filtrate from diodes can be aggregated in a first grouping of separate diodes in  consistent alignment parallel. After a primary level of grouping that preferably is in parallel where current is additive, compound parallel and series where both current and voltage are additive, networks can be built to provide desired DC current and voltage. Within limlts, parts of the  network can be shorted out or open circuted without electrical or chemical harm. Widely scalable electrical power always paired with equal refrigeration is thus possible. The efficiency of each diode is probably low because the initial power within each diode is nanowatts which doesn't graph far beyond the near linearity near the 0,0 orgin. This inefficiency affects the performance but not the equality of the thermal absorbtion and the electrical yield.

    The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive direct current electricity when the load electrical resistance  is equal to the array internal electrical resistance. Maximum calculated electrical power output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array.

    There are a billion measurment cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter.

    Order is imposed on the random thermal motion of electrons by the structual orderlyness of a diode array made of diodes made within a slab:

    Host crystal in this example is silicon or germanium

      P type boron doped
    —–‐——‐—-___— Out
    🔻🔻🔻🔻
    ■■■■■■___ + Out
      N type phosphorous doped

    All the P type semiconductor anodes abut a metal conductive plane deposited on the top face of the slab with nonrectifying joins;  the N type semiconductor cathodes or common cathode abuts the bottom face. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is always a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more on equatorial dry desert summer days and less on polar desert winter nights.

    There are other plausible breeches of the second law of thermodynamics. Hopefully a lot of people, mostly as independent teams, will join in expanding the breech. Please share the successes or setbacks of experiemental efforts. The topic deserves crowd financing, discussion and prototyping attempt action. Crowd development would be resistant to confiscation or burial. At best there could be science quality colaboration.

    These rectifiers could be various types, such as:
    • ​Field emission diodes: An array of needles the needles made of carbon nanotubes or another electrical conductor tipped with an emmisive material probably LaB6 abutting straight in and also separated by a thin insulator or vacuum gap from a metal plane substrate surface.
    • ​Schottky diodes: A metal needle-to-semiconductor junction diode, the semiconductor may be Gallium Arsenide or Indium Antimonide.
    • ​Silicon or Germanium crystal diodes: A well-established technology. These diodes may have poor performance in this application

    These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. Commerce would be a planetary scale unified conglomerate of diverse local cooperatives. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous.
    A pile driver dropping its hammer three meters over a four million strike service life far outweighs the energy of melting scrap metal to make the hammer. This is negative entropy in manufacturing objects.
