It's going to collapse on it's own once the proper resonant frequency is 
struck, and globalization, with it's apparent (and ought to have been 
expected hence my insistence on the 'looting' factor) creation of an 
amplified whipsaw effect... Well, that MIGHT just be the amplified 
resonant frequency needed to crumble the walls of industrial 
nation-states as currently practiced.

We'll see.

Meanwhile, my very existence, to the best of my ability as a human in 
AmeriKKKa. is an act of "hitt(ing) it".

It's a dirty, unrewarding job, low paying without many frills, but 
someone's gotta do it, and the personal satisfaction of being a 'living 
testament to economic insurrection' is incredible and worth the 
effort... unlike being an administrative assistant to the third vice 
president for marketing of Blue Sky Widget Development Inc
