My town is not that forgiving. If you can't pay your taxes you're being replaced with somebody who can. Not a bad thing either. I already pay enough property tax, don't want to also have to pay for those who can't.

It took about 700 years for the Easter islands to go to hell. Hardly a fast crash. Life just getting worse over many generations. They probably didn't even realize the drop in standard of living. Same as the gradual decline in the US since the 60's and 70's. Slow process.
Was one of your ancesters sitting on the islands anticipating the collapse? Hoping year after year for 'this is it'?
