(8,994 posts)What I see happening is America being dragged downward toward the level of Mexico.
In an economy where 40 PERCENT of America's working class wealth got wiped out after 2008 and 37 PERCENT of all consumer spending is being done by the upper 5%, you will be hard pressed to show how we are not going to become like Mexico.
That's a crucial thing. How are we going to avoid becoming like Mexico? That answer is not coming easily. We have no parachute and we're in free fall, full scream ahead.
If you were stuck in Mexico you would look at a total collapse as a fucking vacation. Ever wonder why the poor in Mexico flee that country so much? The rich live like kings while the rest live in a world little better than The Road. All that's missing in Mexico right now is the cannibalism, and the increasingly depraved drug gangs are yea close to filling in that void.
