What would happen long term, politically, if an economic collapse led to massive social upheaval, civil war and starvation? Would the “blue hives” see a population collapse if their required food, clean water, fuel and electricity stopped coming in?
I’m just thinking long range here about what might happen if the “great reset” actually leads to a great collapse? If Americans living in the big cities are at each others’ throats today, with all systems functioning, what will happen if those civilizational foundations are completely removed?
Government can “print” from the thin-air as much digital EBT money as they desire, but they cannot magically print food, clean water, electricity, gasoline, diesel, home heating oil etc. and distribute it to cities.
The capital city of Mississippi can’t provide safe drinking water for its population. This is just a pin-prick compared to what might be around the corner. Safe water for cities doesn’t “just happen,” much as we take it for granted. Is Jackson a harbinger of the future, or a rare outlier?
What happens when a NYC or LA can’t provide safe drinking water to their millions of already on-the-edge inhabitants? When the food trucks stop? No more gas and diesel, empty ATMs, empty supermarkets? What then?
We cordon off a perimeter with armed civilian troops.
