...Huh. I remember seeing a thing, years ago, about some guy who had predicted the collapse of the soviet union, predicting the collapse of America in like 2020 or so. He said something like "The wealthy and the powerful, they see the collapse coming a good ten, twenty years off. So they start looting the country, and twenty becomes ten, ten becomes five. Until the country collapsing today, not twenty years in the future..."

Which is especially troubling, when I see an article like this one. :/

PS anyone recognize that quote? I'm pretty sure I saw it on youtube, but besides that, i don;t remember. :/

@Angle Oh no - this looks like what you meant:

@thamesynne Maybe? I remember seeing this prediction years ago - maybe even before obama was elected. But I think this guy was making prediction back then, so maybe. I'm still not sure though - I feel like the person I remember was from the soviet bloc. Like, eastern european or something like that. :/

@thamesynne @alyx I think I remember some more. "First they debase the currency, then..."? Ringing any bells? :/
