That is just it, isn’t it. Industry is gone and lots of folks moved into services. Retail, insurance, banking, stocks, etc.
Insurance, at least health insurance, is in a choke hold and if...no...when it collapses will take a lot of things down with it.
But now add in the low paying service sector collapse...we already have 92 million Americans not in the workforce. That is nearly one third the population...by summer this country is going to be tearing itself apart.
“by summer this country is going to be tearing itself apart”
Yes; chances are people are going to become downright feral about finding some sort of security and safety.
Yeah, but look on the bright side.
The private patrol business is going to be booming as is the barrier/security wall building and gate construction business. Also, instead of hiring more union cops, you and your neighbors can patrol your own neighborhoods.
Who knows? Maybe the Committees of Vigilance will come back into fashion!
Small business is dying... when it goes... everything collapses.
