The headline story is the government has misrepresented the extent of its resources to its people and is scrambling to figure out what to do.

Some are looting to the greatest extent they can (Money-laundering via Ukraine, Pfizer jab, etc. before the collapse)

Some are trying to persuade the people to accept less (climate change, 15-minute cities, etc.)

Some are trying to solve it through resource acquisition (wars for energy supply, BTC sequestered in ETFs, ,maybe.)

But essentially the shortfall between what’s promised and what’s deliverable is the signal.

The rest is mostly noise.
