Concho, I’ve spent plenty of time in third world countries and I have had guns pointed in my face a number of times. My family is from South Africa and if you really want to experience crime go spend a few weeks in Johannesburg.
I think what you fail to understand is the fundamentals are breaking down in this country and fast. Whether we are talking Biblical times or today, crime and drugs have always been around, that doesn’t necessarily destroy a country. In fact you wouldn’t have a normal society without it.
We could all gather in community groups to help stop what may occur soon in this country, but we don’t have the power anymore. How do stop hyper inflation and the printing of trillions of dollars? How do end a possible trade war with China? These larger issues our citizens have no control over. We use to have a vote on key decisions, now a vote means nothing.
Our society has failed ethically, morally and economically. The biggest issue now is that this a global problem. 20 years ago you could catch a 10 hour flight either way and not have a worry in the world. The US, as the Roman Empire, is center of the Universe. When the nucleus breaks down everything crumbles along with it.
Just a little fact at what happens at a government that cannot sustain itself. Iceland is officially done today!
