    It kind of makes me wonder if the US elite know something we don’t. This kind of stripping the copper out of the walls only makes sense in a country facing complete collapse. I can’t imagine the “deep state” would let this stuff happen unless they also benefit from it.

      Well all this cutting of government services, jobs, and funding will lead to a mass privatization of the public sector, which means easy buyouts, desperate unemployed workers to be swooped up, and more profits for American Billionaires no? You gotta remember that Capital always thinks short-term; while we see the self-sabotage of a centuries long Imperialist project, they see incredible opportunities to ransack the state coffers.

      I really don’t think it’s any more complicated than that.
