All good points but the heart of the matter is only certain people in power want a collapse for their revolution. Other puppeteers want things to last just a little longer, just a little longer... a little longer as they squeeze the last paste out of the America toothpaste tube.

Collapse is invevitable and ultimately would be good for the country but a majority of preppers and patriots in their hearts aren't quite ready to take that leap, it's going to be forced on us and those doing the forcing will have the initiative to spin the collapse in their favor, when they're ready.
