I guess it depends till what?

Irreversible damage 2-4 years

economic collapse 8 years

if you look at the time line for Chavez to go from newly elected prez to citizens starving and being run down by armored vehicles and shot in the streets was what about 15-17 years

Don't be so pessimistic. We have until the next big asteroid strikes.

We've been sliding down this slope for sixty years. By now we're well past the PNR.
There's no reversing it. It's the Tytler cycle. Same as every other civilization has gone through.

Reagan talked about the world suffering under a "Thousand Years of Darkness" when America falls.
Interestingly enough, the last time Judeo/Christian Greco/Roman Western European Civilization (aka Liberty) fell, the world actually did suffer under a thousand years of poverty, misery, robbery, rape, slavery and death (aka Tyranny). We still call it "The Dark Ages" centuries later.

Oh and by the way, we're headed into an Ice Age.

Cinch that chinstrap tight cowboys. Going to be a heck of a ride.

We will survive to do the bidding for the rich no middle class, poor and rich much like the dark ages.

In Norse mythology, Ragnarök is a series of events, including a great battle, foretold to lead to the death of a number of great figures, natural disasters and the submersion of the world in water. After these events, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors.

I hope myself and a hottie are the two.......

Just our luck it will probly be Lefty and Bendy.

The Dark Ages happened only in Europe. Meanwhile, the arts and sciences flourished in the Muslim world. Yes, we have the Muslims to thank for preserving ancient Roman and Greek knowledge, as well as discoveries they made on their own.

Slavery, degradation of women also flourished in the muzzy world. Funny how you praise the muzzies but if those same things happened here you would condemn anyone involved. Anyway, factually.....during the dark age the muzzy world was not a bed of roses, but that's reality which you never embrace.
