The major difference between civilizations falling and now is that everyone now is expecting a quick collapse. It doesnt happen that way. America tooks hundreds of years to come up and its gonna take hundreds to go down. Its not just gonna happen overnight in 2030 or something.

You will start seeing your buying power go down, wages stagnate. Food in grocery stores goes up more and more. Immigrants are brought in to keep the shell game going, but that results in a housing crisis. Then you will die. You will not witness collapse. Your children's children will not. Then one day a decendent of yours will be born in this shadow and seek comfort in the spiritual realm, knowing what rampant materialism and greed brought about the fall of empire. And they will be happier than you ever were.
