The problem with comparing us to Atlas Shrugged, is that in the novel, the looters simply collapsed, and the free-thinking “strikers” went on to start a new, free, capitalist society.
It definitely will NOT be like that in real life. The woke looters will certainly not give up power or recognize their failure. And there will will be a lot of violence, death, and hardship for a long time.
WE TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET TO THIS STATUS...
WILL take a long time to repair or rebuild.
