Are we on the verge of societal collapse

[doggone]

If so the first thing will be shut down of internet/phone/power.
After that pretty much nothing will work any more it will be chaos within hours.

So far the supposed 'success' of vaccines is just about holding things together ... But the most vaccinated countries are starting to run into big problems which might yet be worse than not vaccinating at all.

This in itself would be bad enough but the absurd £400bn UK has spent is the real problem. We were broke before that.
Add in the obsession with green issues making normal life impossible for large sections of society - it is not going to end well.

I see the WEF and UN cozying up further in the news today.

Next winter is going to be crunch time as they can't get gas to keep power going at any price as Russia would rather sell at lower price to favoured countries.

Hmmmm

Looks like our (Brexit) stockpile of tinned & dried food - that you all scoffed at - will come in handy after all. Even if most of it is past its “best before date”.

How d’ya like them (tinned) apples losers?

OP asks the question and then assumes the answer is yes without attempting to explain why.
Who is going to shutdown the internet/phones/power, and why?

OP then supposes unspecified post-vaccine program problems.

I suspect national debt isn’t like normal debt, it’s almost imaginary. Invented money/credit.

Regarding gas supplies, I believe we get most of it from Norway, the Netherlands and Qatar, with a trial 1% from Russia a while ago. Costs will go up but we’re unlikely to be cut off.

I admit I’ve been concerned by the polarisation of politics but I think we’re a long way from Spanish Civil War levels; the left has gone further than the right. I used to think of myself as a Socialist but they don’t seem to represent decent, hard-working families anymore

These concpiracies forget that the conservation goes a bit like this...
Government: Turn off the power station so people won't have any power
Power station workers: Why?
Government: We want all the powser stations turned off.
Power station workers: Umm No...

People who run these services are not idiots.

Anyway, I don't think we're so much on the verge of societal collapse as a re-engineering of society. The question is, can society be artificially re-engineered successfully? I can't think of anyone I'd trust to decide how to do it. Those who want to try should probably be locked tightly away from society.

It's the opposite at my place. The whole site is being reconfigured from mostly desks to mostly collaberation spaces (metting rooms/areas) and I'm only going to start going in a couple of days a week to break the monotony of sitting in my house all day every day.

Prior to COVID up to 12 thousand could be on site every day, when I go in now I play a game of 'people or geese' where I try and guess which of them I will see more of.

Covid is absolutely nothing in the overall scheme of things. According to Worldometer it has killed 4,294,317 which is bugger all in a world population of 7.5 billion.

Climate change has the potential to be horrendous. If large swathes of the world where food is grown become less productive or even infertile then the mass migration to more temperate climates will make the immigrant 'swarm' of the past few years seem like nothing.

Will it happen, yes it will. There is no way we can stop it now. Maybe we can slow it down to give more time to put in contingency plans but in the end it going to happen. Will it mean the end of society as we know it? Probably not but a lot of people will die, and by a lot I would expect that to be in the billions.

When this happens people in the more temperate regions will be welcoming the migrants with guns, not food packages.

Apparently Great Britain and New Zealand are the best places to live with regards to societal collapse, mainly due to their moat-like natures. The climate-change migrants would need warships to cross the channel - a rubber dinghy being sunk before getting half way.

Evidence that proves labour would have been better please?

That's the issue with politics today. All the opposition do is rubbish the opposition instead of focusing on providing a creditable alternative.

Which is why we've had 10 years of Conservative.

That's not the fault of anyone but the opposition.

Oh, and btw:

And here's another question to ask yourself: if Labour had been in government for the last ten years, what do you think you'd be complaining about now?
