## Resource

America’s 250th year is both a milestone and a warning, as Kevin Freeman examines the rise of apathy through the lens of Tytler’s cycle. He connects civic disengagement to soaring debt, inflation, and the quiet erosion of constitutional limits. From Britain and France to major U.S. cities, the pattern is clear: Low turnout and complacency empower organized, radical movements. Freeman closes with a call to action on patriotism, vigilance, and financial preparedness for families and investors.
