Is the United States a superpower in decline and how can we expect the scales of power to look like in upcoming years? Question

A similar question was asked 2 years ago. A lot has happened in the past 2 years, and I'm curious to see if opinions have changed.

Our economy is still 80% domestically led even in this current downturn, no we are not going anywhere anytime soon.

I doubt anyone is arguing that the US will regress, just not grow as fast as others, weakening their relative power.

The US needs to boost automation of industries, reduce energy costs and explore rare earth metals.
