[Intro]
His brain
(Getting squashy)
Under strain
(Wishy-washy)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
Tariff on
Tariff off
Got it wrong
Now all scoff<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
The world’s laughing stock
(Drops like rock)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
His brain
(Getting squashy)
Under strain
(Wishy-washy)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
Tax the poor
Till no more
Got it wrong
Same old song<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
The world’s laughing stock
(Drops like rock)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
His brain
(Getting squashy)
Under strain
(Wishy-washy)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
The world’s laughing stock
(Our reality shock)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG<\/p>\n

The Tipping Point: Will Climate Collapse or Economic Collapse Win the Race?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The economic trajectory of the U.S. under Trump’s policies suggests that a post-capitalist transition<\/strong> may be triggered by domestic fiscal instability rather than climate catastrophe alone. In other words, the United States may be the first nation to economically implode<\/strong> under the dual weight of environmental and self-inflicted economic collapse.<\/p>\n

Complicating matters, the U.S. is simultaneously dealing with aging infrastructure, mounting national debt, deteriorating public health, climate-related disasters, and rising political extremism–all of which erode resilience and reduce the chances of a coordinated national response.<\/p>\n

This raises a chilling question: Will the collapse of the U.S. economy accelerate faster than climate change itself–or are we already too late to avoid either fate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conclusion: What Comes After?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regardless of which crisis arrives first, one outcome is increasingly likely: the U.S. standard of living will fall sharply, and life expectancy may follow. Whether that post-collapse society can still be sustainable–or even enjoyable–will depend on the decisions we make in the next few years.<\/p>\n

Our only hope is to treat this as a true \u201crace against time\u201d and respond with urgency, humility, and collective will. The future depends not just on science and economics, but on whether we can choose survival over ideology, cooperation over conflict, and truth over convenience.<\/p>\n

This climate model integrates not only geophysical systems but also social, political, and economic feedback loops<\/a>. The results are grim: we now forecast a potential 9\u00b0C rise in global temperatures within this century<\/strong>–a rate that would make much of the planet uninhabitable and render large-scale human migration and system failure unavoidable.<\/p>\n
