No, she would have governed like Lincoln's dog Fido.
While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.

Haha. Perhaps more like a teenager in rebellious phase.

You said once that the use and proliferation of plastics was a mistake and it seems the chemical industry has done well but we and our proginy will surely suffer for several generations. As we will from the massive amount of nuclear materials soon to be spread upon the earth. Sadly the apocalyptic sci-fi films including Mad Max keep seeming more realistic as we descend into chaos. I hope John was wrong about the severity but it's not looking good. I'm still not sure if God is holding back his wrath or that it's coming and it's not something that we can avoid but rather need to accept.

Interesting that you are bringing that up. To the best of my recollection, I first mentioned plastics about 10 years ago, saying the degradation of plastics into fine particles is an example of a problem that probably can't be solved by AI. Now AI hype is at a crescendo and I just read yesterday that for the first time a material balance has been done to determine the amount of nanoplastics in the world's oceans and the estimate is 27 million tons. Looking further, I guess that's just the amount estimated to be in the North Atlantic ocean.

The level of nastiness and vindictiveness seems to be ratcheting up a lot:

Trump vs Powell
Macron vs Candace Owens
Gabbard vs Obama

are the examples I can think of where I said, wow, this is different.

It might be a psychological ploy wherein the craziness habituates the general population and when the real SHTF they won't be so shocked. We're just about about there and this could be the forewarning. Ukraine and ME with massive escalations, financial and maybe getting started in the Pacific.

This post from 2013 started a discussion about preparation, timing and depth of the collapse that went on for several pages. I think we're getting a lot more clarity now about timing of the coming collapse.

For example, this hit the wires yesterday (almost universally ignored, of course):
The Social Security trust fund could face insolvency by late 2032, per CRFB estimates.

That would trigger a 24% automatic benefit cut—about $18,000 annually for a dual-earning couple.
LOS ANGELES - Millions of seniors could face devastating cuts to their Social Security benefits in just over seven years, according to a new analysis released Thursday by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB).

The report projects that the Social Security and Medicare trust funds are on track to run out of reserves by late 2032. When that happens, federal law requires that payments be limited to incoming payroll taxes, triggering an automatic 24% benefit cut for retirees unless Congress acts.

The cause, in part, is linked to new tax provisions under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)—a sweeping piece of legislation that reduced revenue into the trust funds, speeding up depletion.

In 2013 it was still kind of theoretical. Most of my time nowadays is being spent preparing for collapse.

I think we're in a short calm before a storm next month/into the autumn where we're in for some potential game changing moves in war, financial and political. 2032 is the number Martin Armstrong says his computer gives for the new financial system to start but he's very recently been harping on some immediate dangers and it seems he might consider them game changers. There's so many moving parts and unknowns but we can see it's getting crazier faster. Prepping isn't even a strange thing anymore. Anyone not doing so is definitely a dullard.
