Opposition from Mitch McConnell means the spending package is dead and the US faces a shutdown and default

Probably won’t lead to anything other than no reconciliation/infra bills passing, but the idea of the economy collapsing and Joe Biden getting ragingly angry at questions on it in a press conference is entertaining

    I guess it could be but I dont see why they would need to demolish anything, it still works fine for them.

      We are facing a world wide pushback against capitalism, the death our our empire's legitimacy, at the same time that our financial system hits it's ceiling. I'm not sure there is any path forward for the status quo that doesn't involve some form of restructuring of our society.

      Everyday more people arrive at the conclusion that the status quo has lead us to our destruction. And since colonizers only know how to colonize, how do they regain control of a society that doesn't recognize the status quo as legitimate?

      Because the Consumer/Service economy party is over. Boomers are getting too old to consume in the same ways they have for 50 years, and soon they will start literally dying. Younger people are broke, jobs that are useful can't hire anyone because the conditions and pay are dogshit, and the ones with money have zero interest in the old consumer system - look at the rise of crypto, the "FIRE" movement, etc everyone is desperately trying to run away from participating in the economy in general.
