The big collapse is coming

I would have predicted it would happen around 2016 not too long ago. Now it may be even sooner.

Here’s the good news. Our productive new world in America will be the way things end up for the whole world. Unfortunately, along the way, things will get very painful. Ideas like the status quo, and simple things like our collective governments providing police, fire, clean water, and waste water treatment will bubble to the top. Along the way, electricity to make light at night, and keep our refrigerators and freezers going 24/7 will also bubble up to the top. All this is so simple, but also so full of friction, and fog in political terms. The big collapse is coming, I still think. Just how we humans do as a response is up for grabs.

Just what happens is also up for grabs. My guess is that the ability to get loans, on a national scale for the USA will come to an end, or at least be difficult. We can get into all the various kinds of ivory tower theories, but if politicians can’t provide things like electricity, then things will change. Like I suggested in the title, the big collapse is coming. And we did it to ourselves. If all our present taxes, local, state, and federal, are not enough, then maybe our elected persons will revert to the old time ways, as in argue and debate over how to spend and prioritize our existing contributed tax monies. Of course this idea assumes we cannot borrow our way out of the present situation. And of course, we American humans and our politicians have made this situation.

We can shoot the messengers all we want, and probably will.

Much friction is coming.

The big collapse is coming. It will start when our federal government cannot get enough people to loan us enough money. It will end when inflation gets down to acceptable numbers (to the voter).

I still think in the end, all we strive for is to promote our families and opportunities for our kid’s futures.

This idea is not political in America. It is simply human in the world.
