Is this the beginning of the end?

Dr. Guy Mcpherson Predicts Human Extinction by 2030

This video is a little out there but makes a few relevant points...

1)The wealthy only care about themselves and refuse to change despite the fake PR there peddling. They want the poorest who can hardly afford to change to do all the hard work while they enjoy the benefits. People don't get rich by working hard that's bs, most poorer people work much harder. They get rich from there parents, not paying any taxes and by making others do all the hard work and paying them a fraction of what there worth. Unfortunately the wealthy have probably killed themselves, there families and most others through there own greed and inaction.

2)In many respects all the real damage has already been done over the last 100 years. Overpopulation, over consumption, global warming/severe weather, massive pollution, deforestation, burning fossil fuels etc.. As history has shown all past civilizations reached a tipping point then collapsed rapidly. This is also how nature works and the damage builds up slowly to a tipping point then the ecological systems collapse rapidly.

For example, https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/03/AR2010090302302.html

But scientists now believe that instead of stone-age tribes, like the groups that occasionally emerge from the forest today, the Indians who inhabited the Amazon centuries ago numbered as many as 20 million, far more people than live here today.

The data suggest the whole amazon civilization was wiped out in less than 50 years due to a domino effect of disease and starvation.

As we learned from Covid, nobody is prepared and what amounts to a bad flu overwhelmed all the health care systems and almost shut down the global economy. We need to be more realistic and understand free energy doesn't solve our biggest problems. It does not solve overpopulation, disease, unrestrained greed/consumption/pollution or deforestation. The fact remains that the generation currently in power created this mess and they have neither the intelligence or the willpower to fix it. So let's not kid ourselves we all know where this is headed and why.

Elon Musk becomes first person ever to lose $200 billion

Elon musk was never the smartest man in the room, that's bs. Apparently like trump his daddy gave him millions in tax free money to start up his business. Even Musk admitted he took some big chances, got lucky and it worked out.

However we could ask how it's even possible to lose 200 billion?.

Well it isn't possible and the money was never actually his to lose. Apparently Musk over valuated his businesses through clever PR and took stock options so he pays zero taxes. He pays zero tax because like most psychotic wealthy people he probably free loaded off all the businesses and took no taxable wages. So his wealth was imaginary and the moment he tried to take some money out he was taxed and the stock started free falling. The stock crashed because when a CEO starts selling off stock most others panic and follow suit.

In effect this free loading off corporations, paying zero taxes and leveraging imaginary wealth to generate more wealth is a giant scam. Yet this scam is how a bunch of self-entitled freeloading tax dodgers, the 1%, came to posses over 90% of the worlds wealth.

It works so long as the poor remain ignorant to this scam and the bubble keeps growing. However as we know every bubble bursts and we may be seeing the start of a massive sell off. Of course, now many of these scam artists are talking about cryptocurrency. Moving money off shore, laundering it into crypto then pumping and dumping it to generate even more imaginary wealth at the expense of others with real currency. It's just one big shit show and one has to wonder how long it will last or be tolerated?.

It doesn't matter.
Losing only matters if you can't afford to lose

Wars, diseases, births and deaths, ups and downs, earthquakes, floods, famines, hurricanes, volcanoes etc., are not new for this earth. They are happening since the time when man appeared on earth.  Wise people make use of their life between  birth and death to attain salvation.

There is such an aphorism: "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans."

While in one part of the world "Beach season", in another part "hurricanes demolish cities".
Everything is relative, the coming crisis (the Chinese economy is a soap bubble due to the construction loan program) will affect many, but this is not the end, there will be new decisions and new actions.
All crises pass, some get poorer, others develop: there is no empty space!
