    Yeah it’s kinda hard for the US to collapse. There’s redundancy in the government. Even if the feds lose control there’s the state government. Seems like economic collapse would have to happen for collapse of anything else

        yeah that’s true. I know the government has set up so banks get cheap loans from the reserve so that banks can determine who gets loans and who doesn’t. that seemingly has screwing over more and more people… seems like the population has to be more proactive about collapse or reform of America

      That’s bound to happen anyway.
      It has always lived beyond their means with the help of the reserve currency which won’t last for long but mostly with vulgar looting and thieving from the rest of the world.

      what people fail to get is that while the USA fucks up, it is pretty good at fixing shit when it does.

      a lot of the biggest economic and reform booms in our history were the product of near collapses.

      people generally resist change until it’s forced upon them by circumstances like depressions, wars, and oil shocks, etc.
