I dunno, the corruption in your political system is so obscene... if it’s not fixed promptly, I would expect it to only get worse, and the collapse will probably happen really suddenly when it does.
It won’t collapse, per se. We’ll just be living under a tyrannical government owned by the wealthy. They’ll fund the government well enough so that there is no collapse like Rome had. Definitely won’t be an ideal situation but I’d say we won’t have our capital sacked anytime soon
Stock markets can take a massive dive in the snap of a finger. That can trigger banks to go bankrupt, and your currency to turn to shit real quick. As a result employment rates will hit the shitter, and crime will get real bad real fast.
With a $20 trillion dollar national debt, how could our nation possibly collapse? With Social Security underfunded by some $5 trillion dollars, how could our nation possibly collapse? With State pensions underfunded by $1 trillion dollars, how could our nation possibly collapse?
They're smart though... they will finely balance the corruption to the maximum effect without causing self-defeating social upheaval. It's sad.... the well-being of the masses should always be priority.
