Historic Financial Collapse Underway?

"As long as Rome has the strongest military the world has ever known, strategic conflicts will be created, the Uncia will remain the reserve currency, because the toughest kid on the block takes your lunch money at will.

It's also the the delivery vehicle. Reality has been crowded out for too long and it is demanding a seat at the table.
