I'd like to improve things, start a family, buy a home and invest in my community but right now the declining state of affairs punishes people for trying to do that. It's just the wrong attitude to have during the collapse. The best thing to do is try to accelerate the bad times so the rebuild comes while you're still alive to apply that positive instinct. A slow decline turns into a century of soviet style stagnation you'll never live to see the end of.
