Honestly...I take an ALT view re: all this. We throw around the word "collapse" like a DOOM novel...global trade halting, store shelves everywhere empty, internet and cellular down, no EBTs, no ATMs, empty gas pumps, full grid down, no water at the tap, food and fuel riots, etc.
I just don't see that happening, at least within the next 2 years. I see more of a steady descent to mediocrity in all phases of American life...real pain for the middle class, real pain for small to midsize businesses, and extreme pain for those living on fixed income/paycheck to paycheck. Lifestyles...CHANGING. I think TPTB know that they can't survive another depression, which is why I take this view. Like RaggedyMan said...a PLANNED PURPOSEFUL DESTRUCTION of AMERICA. TPTB aren't stupid...they hated Trump so much because he disrupted their plans...but Biden and his handlers are picking up right where the chocolate messiah left off...a slow descent to mediocrity all the while aggravating (and distracting us thru) all possible divisions thru their cultural marxist/green new deal playbook in government, the courts, media, education, law enforcement, psychology, even in houses of worship...so that we stay divided, unable to stop their agenda.
This summer is gonna suck...the next 2 years...maybe just MAYBE there will be enough pain that the tide can be turned...if only temporary.
