It looks like I'm in the minority here.
Things are messed-up and they always have been. Human beings are running the show, ad that's messed-up by definition.
The markets are not about to collapse. Leaders are making poor decisions, and we pay for that through the erosion we see. The erosion will continue.
Even places where things are truly bad (and there are many, Syria for example) have not collapsed.
If you live in a relatively safe part of the world you need to worry more about your individual collapse than the world around you. The fear of the outside is always greater than the reality. And the fear on the inside (self) is never high enough.
Here in the USA you see doomsday preppers stocking-up on food, guns, bug out shelters. They see the solution as having a year of food and guns. Yet many are over-weight and in poor physical condition. What they should really consider is that if society breaks down enough to require a year's worth of food, how will they physically and mentally survive the ordeal. Their prep solution is to spend money on outside things instead of strengthening from the inside/
Any way, I am an optimist and see the future as far brighter than the past. The good old days are always right now.
