    Millennials, at least a select few of them, will inherit that wealth. So nothing is likely to change.

      0.1% chance it doesn't get spent on healthcare, homecare, funeral arrangements, and splurged on luxuries by them before that happens for the majority of cases. They're all easy pickin's for the end of life companies and hate the majority of their families.

        A lot of low level and mid level generational wealth will be lost to death expenses. But it's not going to be some accelerationist moment that leads to a quick collapse.

        It's just going to get a little noticeably worse in a relatively short period of time.

        Perhaps I misread your initial comments, but the idea that there's some sort of impending definitive societal collapse to end the American empire is a fiction. It frustrates me to see this rising accelerationist fantasy arise, that dream is extremely unlikely to become reality.

        Our American empire will collapse at the same excruciatingly slow rate as the English empire.

          I don't know why I even bother talking to people anymore. They never understand what I'm saying, they always mangle it into their own paradigm.
