Depends on how you measure things. Some stuff is getting better, lots of other shit is going down. Some observations: Rich are richer, poor are slightly less poor because stuff is cheaper, the environment's cleaner, privacy is a thing of the past, guns are now everywhere and we can't be disarmed, but crime is on the rise due to 13% of the population using them....etc. etc.
Supply chain disruptions incoming. My speculation:
This plus the Russian stuff plus some other stuff like Cyber Polygon style attacks will crash the economy ->
print more money ->
hyperinflation and worthless fiat (just like ol' Weimar Republic)->
new transnational currency backed by corporations or their own private Central Bank ->
you get new currency by exchanging your assets for it so you can buy food and shelter with it (eg: They own many farms and houses, and they only take new currency) ->
Massive crash in asset prices, they get to buy the remaining assets cheaply (probably in "partnership" with the government through a Trust or something, so it doesn't look like the takeover attempt that it is) ->
World economic collapse imminent. Brace for impact and get ready to rebuild.
The sky is always falling for the Chicken Littles over at Zerohedge.

Sounds like waiting for the other shoe to drop.
