"If wishes were horses...then beggars would ride" Prepping for collapse...no one...throws a switch...we have all been witnessing this in slow motion...for many years now. Unfortunately...the "beggar index" is in an inflationary cycle. Global migration due to war and economic hardship...drug induced poverty...mental illness...and homelessness...are on the rise. The financialization of our existence appears to be the financial criminals latest "smash and grab" extortion scheme. Someone I follow recently quoted David Attenborough's metaphor of ants in a jar..."Place two types of ants in a jar...red ants and black ants...they co-inhabit the jar peacefully. If you shake the jar...they violently attack each other". The societal/civilizational costs are incalculable...and beyond the imagination. Not to be completely deterministic...but there is a strong sense that our jar is being purposefully shaken. Thank you always Alex!

Ouch. (a great analysis, though)
