I think that's what's happening to our society. Lots of cars, gasoline and stuff available and cheap prior to the big closing. There won't be any place to get any of that stuff when it all closes up.
It's like the Wal Mart closures. All the towns that lost all their businesses when they came in now are without a place to buy groceries and pharmacy items when they go out of business and leave their communities bereft.

But of course. Anyone with a differing point of view, even one who points out objective facts, is a "troll".
Speaking of facts, care to name the list of the biggest resource limits we're hitting, and why you think so? For controversial ones, credible citations would be nice.
