The current world situation is planned to maximize profits for the richest people on the planet.
If catastrophic collapse is looming, that provides all the incentive that is needed for every party around the globe to continue supporting the lie to the maximum extent possible.
My gut feel is, they can keep that up for decades.
On the bright side, when this entire house of financial cards collapses and the massive die-off occurs, humanity will have a much smaller carbon global footprint and the planet may once again have a hope of being saved!
The big question is do we violently collapse or sit stagnant, like the last 10+ years, indefinitely? I think politicians and monetary manipulators are trying for, “indefinitely”. But, eventually, they will f**k up and it will all collapse.
