I recently became an ex democrat. Loved Bill Clinton, Obama. Sorta kinda liked Hillary, and I did support Biden until I noticed him becoming anit-tech and hating billionaires. I'm out. Democrats really messed up by shifting to ultra woke where all they can talk about is race. Like there are no other issues. Well, that didn't go well.

As for collapse, yes it's possible. Biut it's also possible we're entering a golden age, where new forms of employment and new income streams become possible, lifting tens of millions of people out of poverty. The only people left behind will be the collapse theorists.
