This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Years of underfunding caused the educational institutions to recruit a lot of foreign students. Now with the federal government slashing those visas for foreign students, and with new policy that limits post graduate immigration options, post secondary institutions are faced with closing and gutting programs, laying off staff and eyeing a billion dollar loss next year.
