4. It will take a much bigger catastrophe

I've been watching for it, too. Not so much the stock market mini-collapse of the 1980s, or even the dot-com bubble, but the housing market mess of the early 2000s grabbed my attention because I had worked in jobs tangentially connected. I saw how the money people manipulated things, and manipulated people as if they were markers on a board game.

The reforms of the 1930s are anathema to the money people today; they're actively trying to destroy those reforms while at the same time making sure their wealth -- and power -- are protected. They learned those two lessons from the '29 crash. We the people haven't learned ours.
