I see the coming breakdowns as a golden opportunity to bring about
community mobilizations at a speed and pace otherwise impossible. I
see the 100% predictable meltdown as sounding the death knell of the
sociopathic money mad titans and their insufferable cult of worship of
the "free market" and all that garbage as on the verge of defeat, with
unexpected and timely assistance from this amazing deus ex machina. I
see all but the cultists finally taking matters into their own hands
and coalescing to restore democracy and community values to their own
governance.  Whose government is it anyway, dammit.

It's our last chance.  Grasp it or be flung into the abyss.
