Well, if this is what constitutes an “implosion” of the world, in your opinion, than yes: the world is going to implode.
You and I clearly have very different definitions of what “implosion” means. I thought you meant a Mad Max scenario.

No, I don’t mean a Mad Max scenario, which would also (obviously) qualify as implosion. But I think any scenario where you can’t find a dentist to perform dental services would qualify as implosion. And, yes, implosion, as I describe it, has indeed happened in many countries throughout history. I would say the Great Depression qualifies as implosion (based on unemployment, social strife, etc.), to use just one example. But we can agree to disagree on semantics.
I think we can see massive dislocation in the economy and otherwise without seeing all dental services and cell phone coverage disappear. Just my two cents.
