That's one of my questions. In my experience lefties seem to think it'll be ecological, the result of unrestrained capitalism or a failure to subsidize every paranoid scientist. Righties seem to lean toward government failures/ social upheaval. I figure bison are good for whatever disaster comes. I want to know what shadow flits through your mind when someone says collapse.
