Between the moment a system begins to crack and the moment people realize something has broken beyond repair exists a window of delusion. You notice the signs but interpret them as temporary anomalies.
The supermarket shelves that sit empty for a day, two, then refill with different products, packaging you don’t recognize. The electricity bill that jumps from two hundred to four hundred dollars in one July.
There is a point in the decline of republics when the problem is no longer that government breaks its own laws. Governments will always behave unlawfully.
The deeper problem comes when the constitutional machinery designed to prevent those acts stops functioning — when spending becomes detached from arithmetic, presidential power becomes detached from law, and Congress and the courts become detached from the Constitution.
That’s where America is today.

Poverty & Cash: One of the poorest nations globally. While mobile money is surprisingly common in urban areas, physical cash remains vital, and a vast portion of the rural economy operates entirely outside formal banking.
Electricity: Grid electricity is practically non-existent on a national scale. Power is almost entirely supplied by localized, unregulated private generators ("hargeysa electricity networks") with frequent outages.
Americans are slaves today and the police officers are the slave patrol.
