 The issue is there are no consequences for the elites If you create a crisis like 2008 who cares the taxpayer will bail us out.

And this time is going to be worse as the us dollar is closer and closer to losing its status as a world reserve currency.

For this, there are many reasons such as weaponizing the dollar and swift, etc...

180+ countries want to join the new BRICS payment system what happens to the dollar then and a debt-based economy?

It will be hyperinflation as you can't just keep printing money that's paper that 180+ countries don't want. 

Don't get me wrong there are solutions to this such as crypto where you can't print as much as you want but things will get a lot worse before they get any better.
