The whole of the western world IS doing the same, if you look at Canada, Australia, the EU and every other country in the west, they are all having the same laws and control mechanisms imbedded into the structure that would survive a collapse. Every country in the world is totally underwater in debt - so who is the money owed to? When the debt bubble collapses, who will end up with the resources and assets when the dust clears? Every time money is loaned out, it has to be repaid with interest - A truly evil system that is designed to eventually fail and when it does, a small fraction of humanity will own nearly everything. This is coming at a time when automation and robotics are making 90% of the human race economically unnecessary within about 15 - 25 years. A lot of the Climate Change / Net Zero is also telling us that Humanity needs to drastically reduce its consumption of resources within the same time frame... so, IF most humans are surplus to requirements and don't have any assets to get them through the bottleneck, obviously they will have to be controlled and managed. Most of the control grid will have to be built prior to this happening and what better way to ensure that the people DEMAND it, than if they have gone through a period of anarchy and total destruction of everything they have known?
