    maybe i'm being way too optimistic with that, but i don't think people will take mortgages and pieces of paper that seriously then.

      depends when "then" is. There could be a texas style grid issue during a major heat wave like, any year now, I feel, or a water crisis brought on by agricultural/golf course usage lol. Though being on a real, connected grid they will probably not be as fucked as TX, and they might crack down on non-human-life-supporting uses of water soon enough to skirt by on that one too (at least for the short term, if you're not homeless/poor/rural)

      Sure, mortgages may not matter if society starts outright collapsing but I think it will progress slower than that and that the life threatening issues will start sooner than that.
