They said that shit before the big crash in 08 and now the same shit sandwich is being fed to us but to make matters worse the people at the top are lying about it.
But '08 came and went, and here we still are.
Ten-plus years of "6 months 'til collapse, 12 tops" has given me a healthy disrespect for assuming timelines.
I absolutely believe worse time are ahead, one way or another. But even in a downfall the various governments could hold on for a painfully long time and inflict untold amounts of damage on their way towards total dissolution. They may not collapse at all and instead manage to keep hold of the reins while liquidating their ideological enemies.
I'll say it again. These days prepping is not just for a collapse of the old order. It's also for a continuation of it.
Ofc we're still here. The 08 problem was just to rescue those gamblers at the top who faced no repercussions for their actions and the majority of people were left worse off but hey, those house prices though!
Again you're talking collapse. I am talking major recession as pointed out by the above.
Services in the UK for people who are hard up or require public transport and healthcare have suffered and are still facing more cuts due to this financial destruction on top of the national debt which nobody seems to talk about anymore here.
Inch by inch it is a creeping death. The only answer so far by the likes of Labour? More public spending (debt) to prop up those services. So when the ball gets dropped harder - thanks to compounding interest, its even worse later on.
This is leading to an all powerful state who will find ever more ways to make criminals of innocent people. Prepare all you want but if you get targeted by the government you're toast.
