Collapse

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

That's the purpose of the corresponding mass incarceration of citizens. Trade low-paid immigrant labor for unpaid slave labor.

If they really wanted to solve illegal immigration, simply jail any business owner who hires illegals. Guess which political party affiliated small business owners would end up as the majority of those incarcerated?

USA citizens would work those jobs if they paid them a living wage. Labor costs are tiny fraction of food costs even tripling the prevailing ag labor wage would be trivial percent increases in the price of most food

What's the point in taking about anything he would do when elected? Where's the wall, dawg? Your healthcare plan? The greatness of America restored? Cheese and rice, less than a month of this distraction, can't come soon enough. Vote.gov . Already voted Harris/Walz, let's go!

After his town hall meeting, it's safe to say he isn't going to do anything when elected since Vance will be president.
