Do you think 'artificial scarcity' is a symptom of capitalism failing and we need to go to China's model OR do you think it's part of the attempt to get us there by subtle force?

Things like this: https://communities.win/c/Gaming/p/15HITNK2Ok/gpu-prices-are-starting-to-fall/c and https://communities.win/c/Gaming/p/15HIY0cHxN/am-i-the-only-one-who-thinks-mic/c is part of what I mean when I mention the broken electronic industry. God refuses to come down and fix it so I wonder if God doesn't fix it and mankind REFUSES to listen to the problems what's going to be the end game here? This bull shit CANNOT sustain itself much longer on it's own.

Periodically I repeat that thinking of this as "pre-collapse" is a mistake. We are in the collapse. Collapses are not instantaneous events. They are a process. Look at our economy 4 years ago; look at it now. The bull shit is NOT sustaining itself. It has all already collapsed by a significant amount. There is less of everything than there was. There's no need to look in the future. It's here, it's now, and we are moving with it. Once they begin, collapses have momentum (think an avalanche for a metaphor). We need to be looking for the places where the collapse hits an intermediary floor. Today is not one of those times. But when those times come, look for opportunities to build and expand alternative systems. Maybe the trend can be reversed then. We are in "full descent" today. The most valuable thing to do is recognize what's going on around us for what it is so that we can keep our eyes out for the next pause.
As to intent, looking at the policies of the ruling class, this is absolutely intentional. You don't open your borders as both Europe and the US have done and not recognize the meaning of that. They want the chaos. They are quite intentionally demolishing the old system because the old structures stood in the way of their visions for future power.

The government is going to make it illegal for you to grow your own food. Ponder on that one for a minute.
