        Watch it fall and walk away: Rarely the best solution from what I've seen in my life. I imagine that a general collapse would help the well-to-do, who have means to survive it. Maybe a Financial *Sector* collapse is different.

        It would benefit farmers as well, especially the ones who have established it without subsidies or already got the necessary equipment via subsidies before the collapse.

        Good point, of course relatively so, as all would suffer to some degree if a real correction were to occur - though as always it would be individual assessment. One guy might be in a position to 'profit' and love such a thing, and for some lifestyle might not change much at all.

        How much suffering do you think the government prevents, beyond just providing welfare to the poor, which comes at the ‘taxpayers’ dime’ which is a violation of private property?

        Not sure that welfare is a net reduction of suffering. Individuals acting in government capacity can reduce suffering, in individual cases i.e. LEO helps someone (though misallocated). But whatever % of suffering reduction a government can provide, markets would tend lower.

        Exactly. Which is why I think the free market is all we need.
