Sure, "bide your time" and prepare for collapse. That's the big, profound, important lesson you learned. That's what the founding fathers did, they said, "King George will tire of fucking with us any day now! We'll have moar bay bays!". That's how you solve problems, you sit around and intentionally wait for them to get worse while birthing more kids into a shithole. Just wait until they figure out what cowardly assholes you were. I remember that moment with my parents... Mouth breathing morons have been talking about a "collapse" since I've been alive. I was reading "economic collapse" blogs at work in 2007. Well, the economy "collapsed" then and it wasn't that big a deal. "Collapse" is just hyperbole, things just readjust downward and you become a little more poor. The Great Depression was maybe worse, a lot of people died, no one even cared and on it went. My generation is more poor than my parent's generation and many of you are more poor than I am and on it goes... It's like when someone said that so and so's "career was ended" by an edgy comment when in fact, they are fine and still receiving a shit ton of money and the person who made the comment is living in a one bedroom apartment. lol They think everything has to "collapse" because that's what will save them. Life doesn't work that way.
