Unfortunately the government will not listen. Whatever government is in power will do the same as the sub-prime debacle. They will bail out those that (intentionally?) caused it. Money will shift to shareholders and the top 0.5%, large swaths of stocks & property will be bought up cheap by the already wealthy, and the remaining 99.5% of the population will pay for it. The whole businesses need to profit in good times to make it through low times has been replaced with corporations are to be subsidized by the working class no matter what. SNAP is a subsidy to large corporations who can then ignore supply and demand of workers at poverty wages because tax payers make up the supports needed. Americans will go along with their standard of living continuing to decline because "American exceptionalism". After a long career in politics, always saying the right thing but never able to affect real change, AOC will take over the crown from Bernie Saunders.
