    It’s not usually just thst groceries get expensive. They usually get incredibly scarce too.

    People starve when things collapse.

    Revolutions happened with people starve.

    Lots of people die when revolutions happen.

    None of it is necessary if democracy can actually happen. We need citizens united, first past the post, and the electoral college systems removed. Then shit can change.

      While I agree I also would like to point out that positive change is extremely unlikely at this point, it’s not just one or two points within the institutions but basically every institution. I suspect that we have long passed the point of reform without some level of collapse and frankly I’d rather the collapse that destroys the US and prevents it from existing again than the one which will allow similar issues to reform.
