    He's not wrong in that collapse often isn't an apocalyptic reckoning, it's sometimes a slow degradation of conditions and inability to change paths. Caring about Dairy Queen specifically is treat brained, but look at Russia post-USSR collapse - there wasn't a giant explosion just a decade of immiseration and quiet death

      I'd seriously recommend this opinion piece on this topic.

      If you’re waiting for a moment where you’re like “this is it,” I’m telling you, it never comes. Nobody comes on TV and says “things are officially bad.” There’s no launch party for decay. It’s just a pileup of [disruptions,] outrages and atrocities in between friendships and weddings and perhaps an unusual amount of alcohol.
