So how much longer until shit really hits the fan. I’ve noticed at work the confusion or absence of grants being talked about but nothing more. I’m not trying to deny the situation but when do we feel these absences in government?
Probably when people stop being able to afford rent en masse. Maybe if we see police commit some kind of horrible atrocity like another Kent State or George Floyd.
That's the landscape that started the BLM riots.
soon as the debt ceiling can’t be funded
we’re on borrowed time as we speak
Year 2 of the Trump reign will be a complete collapse of the government.
You're assuming we last two years, imperial collapse is compounding issues building up over time. If you have ever played a colony builder or a grand strategy game ya know it isn't the problem that happened five minutes ago it's every issue over the last hour. Given the fact Trump and Co are manufacturing issues to sap away as much power and money as possible plus the issues going back hundreds of years in some cases, well let's just say there is a lot more weight on whatever load bearing elements still exist we may see a collapse by winter.
I don't even think we have that long.
Well, I'll rephrase that: I don't think I have that long being on SSDI, Medicaid, and in HUD housing. I have no doubt I'll be disappeared as a "parasite" long before the collapse. I do have a cane and I'm not afraid to use it for what it wasn't intended for so I won't go down without a fight.
But given the fact that nearly half of Project 2025 has been implanted in a little less than 4 months it might happen at the end of summer -- especially if the debt ceiling doesn't get raised.
A winter collapse is gonna suck for American refugees trying to flee to Canada. There's been more than a few who've tried to cross and died or lost fingers, hands and/or feet in the trying.
Sure but I'm in good old SoCal, if the feds implode in the winter that means whatever fighting I get stuck in the temps will at least be comfortable.
