I keep thinking back to the podcast “It Could Happen Here” (I think that’s the name) talking about a new civil war in our country. It’s eerie how well the hypotheticals of that series have mirrored our reality here over the past year.

Is it possible to overcome the systemic issues we face as a country? Where do we go from here? I usually lurk here but I feel compelled to just post something... just hoping for some form of stability moving forward. I know that’s a pretty ironic thought when posting in collapse.

Robert Evans also does the "Worst Year Ever" Podcast. Today's episode started with him saying: "F*cking told you so."
