192 THE BiG DROP

goggles, flash bang grenades, battering rams, and automatic
weapons. They drive around in armored personnel carriers.
They’re using drones, surveillance, etc.
We have a heavily militarized police force in every county
and town in America. Under government direction, that mili-
tarization could be used to keep social order. These are the
kinds of scenarios you’re looking at if the system collapses.■ Critical Thresholds for Quitting the Dollar
There is something called a “Hypersynchronous Ising Model”
