We here in the US already have plenty of collapse.
Entire cities have been leveled, not by plundering armies, but instead by greedy and incompetent governments unable to keep their hands out of people’s pockets until the pockets all went away.My state Connecticut, rather than admit that thing are so screwed up that the state is essentially dead, are trying to bribe large companies to stay. Perhaps if the state hadn’t set it up so that it’s impossible to start, grow or run a business we wouldn’t be looking the black hole in the mouth. It isn’t just one state. It’s the entire country and if the policies that created the problems do not change, well we can look to the fall of the Western Roman Empire as a happy time compared to what’s going to happen. We’ve come so far and risen so high, but if people do not understand that none of it’s permanent, we will still fall. What Can The Fall Of Rome Teach Us? | The Arts Mechanical

South Carolina's social services are collapsing. Even with State taxes, there's not enough givers and too many takers. Boeing, Volvo, Amazon... not enough to support the tremendous weight of the add-a-program-for-my-constituents'-vote expansion that has reached critical mass.

Can't happen fast enough here Joan. I left Vermont six years ago before they could grab everything.
The politicians aren't going to have to say "NO", it's going to be said for them.
Spartanburg and Greenville will keep the fire departments busy.
