It's a strange system that to me seems like can work as long as you get way more people in the ponzi and people continue to be a gear in their system or at least the vast majority of them.

It starts to run out of steam though because a time like right now it is so hard for people to meet Maslow's Hierarchy of basic needs.

So more people sort of revolt against the system. Theft is running rampant in a lot of cities. People will undoubtedly be looking to grow more of their own food and start existing more outside the system.

They will seemingly benefit to an extent where people start hitting eject and existing partially outside the system or leaving the country.

It's a tough thing to really gauge because we have fairly comfortable lives, nice cars, super computers in our pockets, the ability to take cheap flights sometimes at a rate cheaper than it would be to drive which always blows my mind but then in other respects we don't really have as much. And that might be as simple as clean drinking water and a reasonable ability to have a family.
