The Roman model of incremental decline seems most likely (reference Kurt Schlichter's possible/probable scenarios in "We'll Be Back") - we are still ( in an age of accelerated change), still decades away from Chicoms/Progressive hegemony. For example... look at what Nigel Farage is experiencing in the UK vis-a-vis bank accounts- you think this isn't a red flag that will stiffen resistance to "Digital Currency"?

Expand it to meet the requirements that were reality two/three hundred years ago.
Do not settle for less than surplus.
If need be, relocate.
