The Post-pandemic economic struggle is crucial to jostle the remaining sleepers as the handouts start to dry up, shelves see a reduction in "food", prices skyrocket across the board, and energy production is ground to a halt through sheer stupidity. To even make a statement that economic "collapse" wasn't on the agenda is a bit moronic. Put it to you this way, if Patriots really aren't in control and all this shit is happening, then you ought to be in a state of severe panic by now because that whole book at the end of the Bible is most assuredly happening right before your eyes. The entire agenda of the communists has been the destruction/overthrow of the USA. While what's happening was intended to make it look like they won, if you aren't able to accept that destroying the economy wouldn't have been part of that takeover (had patriots not stepped in to prevent it) then you're not even acknowledging the totality of what was planned against the greatest Republic to have ever existed.
