===== 3.3. Post-Recession Recovery and Further Polarization (2010–2019) =====
* 2010: - There’s a temporary upswing in many metrics (Executive stress going to -1, Army at 0, big capacity jumps in Trades/Professions, Property Owners). Possibly the early optimism post-2009 bailout/stimulus. - However, from 2011 onward, the data show renewed negative stress creeping in for the Executive and the Army. The political environment becomes more polarized.
* 2013–2015: - Executive Stress from -7 to -8, capacity not climbing. Army Stress also quite negative by 2015. - This likely reflects sequester fights in Congress, Middle East entanglements (ISIS conflicts), and deepening partisanship. - Proletariat remains stuck at negative stress (-6 or -7) through the mid-2010s, possibly reflecting wage stagnation and the slow recovery.
