Comment on How much of it is society is collapsing versus the daily on going of the ruling class was so obscure that they were easier to ignore?

  I didn’t compare the two. OP made this comparison.

  I pointed out that the numbers were WAY underestimated.

  History tells us that when a country starts to run up debt faster than it can pay it down, the government is likely to topple. Especially if it’s unwilling/unable to address the crisis directly instead of kicking the can down the road. Standard operating procedure in the U.S. is to walk out of budget discussions, ignore the problem, underfund and borrow money. Each year this happens, it should be a HUGE red flag to our citizens. Instead, its become the new normal. It is unsustainable.
