Failure Mode

Look, when the ship goes down, it takes a while to get there.  Folks scramble around, I would bet that everyone is goofier than hell.

We have an idea that failure mode for a lifestyle and economic/political system is somehow different than this.  We seem to deeply desire a degringolade to fit into our dreams of some biblical Armageddon where those who are wrongly different than us get theirs....and get it good.

Look, the bigger the system the slower the failure. 

The system won't go anywhere for a while yet, black helicopters won't be chasing me through blasted ruins with heat sensors and hellfire missiles.

Nope.  Might have to get used to beans and rice and less meat.  Might have to get a roommate. Taxes will go up, wages will go down, and less is definitely a possibility.

Such is life.
