I worked for the Federal government for years and it’s the people in the trenches who keep the machine of government humming along. Now there’s a bunch of toddlers who’ve been handed the keys to the family car and have already run it into a ditch before turning the ignition…great! Then the folks who run the machine won’t be paid to keep it going, so what happens next? Who’s gonna show up for work if everything goes dark and there’s no money to keep things going? What a shitshow…

Good question. One I have mused over for decades as the tides of political corruption just kept rising unchecked. Survival depends upon human goodwill and co operation. Take away the money machinery and the goodwill and co operation still remain. How society restructures itself without the off/on political controls of late stage capitalism will depend on each and every individual’s choice of actions in the moment of such a crisis.
