Getting a pet is probably a good idea for you, Cliffy. Being alone, with no one to talk to, is not good for one's mental health. Humans are social creatures and must interact, even if it is with an animal. Since you don't seem to want to talk to others, an animal will certainly do you no harm.
One of us can phone the animal shelter for you and have it delivered, if you'd like.
Perhaps, but no one here is qualified to say what, if anything will happen. You are projecting what you want to happen into a situation that does not exist. The US has a healthy economy and is politically strong.
Had the economy tanked, or a bunch of wars started, you might have been on the right track. It's been a year and you are still predicting gloom and doom.
I have a prediction. Trump will pass away and he will be talked about long after most of us have faded from memory.
