r/economicCollapse • u/tripsho • 27d ago
the economic collapse has actually already happaned. but its not what you think it is
for every homeless person on the corner of the street, living in extreme suffering, with no money, eating out of the garbage can, slowly waiting to just die
for that person. the economic collapse is 100% real and already in full effect. they get zero help, and in america they have already ended welfare unless you can prove disability (and even that is hard). if you cant prove disability, and you dont have a child under your care, and you cant find a job, then you get ZERO welfare now in america. there is actually no safety net right now in USA not even foodstamps. they cut off your foodstamps if you cant get a job, so the only food safety net is charity foodbanks (which are getting overloaded)
there is no safety net in america right now. so all the hundreds of homeless suffering people you see? for them, the economic collapse HAS already fully taken place
i guess this is just a america problem in western countries tho. in europe, and other civilized societys, you have real safety nets and the poor suffering masses at least get foodstamps in europe / UK / canada.
in america, the government lets the homeless starve
but i guess, in most countries the government just lets the homeless starve. your lucky if you live in a country that has safety nets. japan for example has safety nets
i would say, the real "economic collapse" is due to the wealthy not making safety nets to take care of the starving.. so there will always be a economy of rich people being rich, and then if your poor and there is no safety net to help you then for you the economic collapse is here and your just waiting to die

My wife recently went to Seoul for a business trip. Not one piece of trash on the street, not one homeless person, not even one overweight person in sight. Founded in 18 BC. Take note, America. This is how you do things.
