What's finally happening is the system can no longer collect enough resources to fund the minimum required to satisfy the sociopaths and the minimum required to satisfy the bottom 90%, so something's gotta give.
The solution has always been straightforward: print or borrow another couple trillion dollars to fund the greed of the sociopaths and whatever it takes to keep the herd from stampeding.
The trillions are getting harder to print/borrow, and so it's finally squeeze-time.

...and those are the more endearing characteristics.
[[[irresponsible]]] press"This is the press, an irresponsible press. It will make the criminal look like he's the victim and make the victim look like he's the criminal. If you aren't careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing."

Capitalism for the masses, socialism for the filthy rich.
Growing wealth inequality
Historically, it always ends in bloodshed
The assumption is that if the masses grow unhappy then there will be hell to pay. Seems legit, right? But it isn't and never was.
This is the mistake of Karl Marx and the communists, who figured something's got to give and the "proletariat" would rise up, etc.
They never do. Ever. Never once in recorded history has a populist revolution ever been successful.
Revolutions occur only due to the infighting among elites.
Waiting for the people to rise up is like waiting for a ship that never comes in.
Look at the elites, for discontent, ambition and infighting. This and only this produces change.
I wish that were not so. But that is reality.
^^ Retarded conjobs: “Butt…but…that’s FREEDUMBBB!”Extreme socioeconomic imbalance. The stress on a lot of people trying to work multiple jobs, increase their work load/try to make more money to cover basic necessities and expenses (many already deep in debt), making cut after cut, doing without, going stir crazy, not getting proper nutrition or enough to eat/sleep and still not getting anywhere is eventually going to have a lot of people blowing their tops.
How this will materialize is anyone's guess. Some people might take out their boss or their family.
Some people might blow their own brains out or someone else's.
Domestic issues will spike, people will get more DUIs and wreck their vehicles. There will be increases in violent crime, assaults, robbery, murder, arson etc.
You're real young if you think that's something new. I worked three jobs in the '70s.
LOLWell it's different today when you still can't afford jack ****. This isn't the ****’ 70's, although I wish it was.
What does the French Revolution look like in Twenty-First Century America?
Wood chippers
Just waiting for the hammer to drop…it won’t be a teardrop moment…it will be a thunderous tidal wave…Its a race to the bottom.
Whats left of humanity is past any peaceful solution.
