don't count your chickens......
I am not in fact sure if the DATE of the collapse should be counted from the beginning of inevitability ( when it could not be stopped) in which case it has already passed, or from the date you yourself realize it is done.
What is the bench mark? The end of ATMs, the closure of the local grocery store due to lack of stock? Maybe the day the phone quits working?
Maybe the collapse will take a longer period of time than 2 business days, but consider the sheer size of that you are watching collapse.
PO is in fact the driving certainty that the collapse is already in progress. Until you can show me a way for TWAWKI to survive without OIL... I will consider the collapse ongoing thank you!
Feel free to debate the separate symptoms and evidences, but that changes nothing and IMHO is simply a wasted moment you could be contributing to finding the best passage for the most people.
This of course is simply my opinion, which is FWIW as valid as yours.
