Empire in decline Update: Debt Collapse, Bedbugs resistant, Threat Assessments, Cloaking Device, Services Collapsing

The Debt Collapse - Epic Defaults

Bedbugs becoming resistant to pesticides - If you've ever had them in your home you'll fear this latest news.  Heat treatment is probably the only good thing left and I can imagine that over time they will develop resistance to that in some form.

Threat Assessment program - The new way for the government to get you to lose more rights.  Meanwhile the borders are open.

Cloaking device becoming a reality- shades of Star Trek

The end of the Lumberjack - until the grid goes down and oil stops flowing

Baltimore Services in Collapse - No snow plows in 5 days for some residents.  This is not the worst snow ever no matter what they say.  It is a sign of the breakdown of services.  Meanwhile, I bet the EBT cards are still going out and getting recharged with cash.  Illegals are probably getting first call on help during this debacle.

Washington Suburbs still waiting - Abandoned
High taxes and poor service.
