So the prepping community has for a long time prophesied a collapse of the economic system and the world stage becoming something akin to Mad Max.
After having some very poignant discussions with folks who deal into this, they have told me that we are there but don’t know it yet. And the political establishment is to blame.
Why?
The population and the amount of businesses that have closed has caused a lopsided supply and demand paradigm that is now collapsing as we speak.
First: businesses that did the supply to the consumer demand has taken hit after hit.
Close to the heart of preppers is ammunition.
Something not so close to preppers are non-“essential “businesses like craft stores, herb stores and the like. The shutting down of this level or retail has curbed a huge chunk of the economy, more so than they are willing to admit. This also means that Wall Street which is currently dominating the economy along with amazon has effectively cut their own feet of because the core of the money that goes to them was the very small business that they killed through their fear-mongering and political wrangling.
Secondly:Because that side of supply is now in the hands of a select group and prices WILL rise with the subsequent fall in demand because businesses are gone and people do not have jobs, the economy is starting its slow descent. The estimation of real effect will probably happen shortly as Biden and Harris will push taxation. Those taxes, minimum wage, illegal aliens and the like will put so much strain on the system it cannot hold.
Third:The push by Xio Bi Dhen and Harris of the now defamed ‘Infrastructure’ economy will put an even further strain on the populace as money that “should” in theory go to road and bridge reconstruction-rehabilitation as Pete Buteggeg has proposed will fail because the necessary supply chain of products to build and rehabilitate the system has been shuttered by the very politicos who are pushing this BS. The supply chain would need to come from outside the US and even then that’s questionable at this point. You simply do not have the infrastructure needed to amass outsourced raw material for such. The logistical aspect simply does not exist.
This is the desire of the left.
But what they fail to grasp is that their system they want to establish will not hold together at all and will fall apart as they try to build it. This will further erode power.
Stock up on butter folks, your republic is already toast.
