we're at the breaking point or, and I believe this, we're past it - it's broken, but no one has admitted it yet.

I do volunteer work for the homeless. Within the past year or two the sheer amount of homeless people has skyrocketed. the stereotypes are bullshit. These aren't junkies, these aren't mentally ill people, these are people who are broke. A MASSIVE increase in women and the elderly. a Huge increase in immigrants. and it's increasing weekly to monthly. not like gradually increasing but "the dam has broken and shits flooding" increasing. We can't keep up. We don't have enough food to hand out now, not enough clothes, not enough anything. we're just constantly fighting a massive wave of people looking, begging, pleading for help and we're running out of help to provide.

I suspect, at least where I live in Canada, we have 6 months to MAYBE a year left but everything is over run and shit just straight up collapses.
