When systems collapse it is gruesome. It must be prevented at all costs.

In the late Soviet era, World Bank estimates indicate ~1.5% of the population was living in poverty (defined as income < $25 per month).

By mid-1993 between 39%-49% of the population now lived in poverty.

Both can be true:

- Americans have no idea how good we've had it as world reserve currency issuer, unipolar global hegemon.

- Things are F'd bc of our parasitic permanent political class wielding this power for their sole benefit.

But things are unravelling and accelerating 😲

I'm increasingly concerned we've done all the wrongs things

- print unlimited money, bail out banks, attack vs embrace bitcoin, weaponize the dollar abroad, force our adversaries to join forces, prolong proxy wars, sow internal division within 🇺🇸

and that the bill is soon due.

But w each 'current thing' the population wakes up from (due to reality intervening) the spell loses power.
