 The text you've shared seems to be expressing frustration and concern about the current state of politics and the economy. Here's a breakdown:

1.  **Critique of Performative Politics**: The author is unhappy with what they see as empty, superficial political engagement that doesn't address real issues. They encourage people to stop engaging in this way, suggesting that it will allow for more meaningful change.
2.  **Concerns about the Political Debate**: They predict that debates and political discussions will be shallow and not address significant problems like a looming fiscal collapse or global economic instability.
3.  **Call to Action: Preparing for Economic Uncertainty**: The final part of the text is a warning from an individual (likely referring to Michael Mannarino, who is known for his economic analyses) that there are serious economic concerns on the horizon and encourages people to prepare themselves financially.

The tone of this text seems urgent and cautionary. It suggests that there are serious issues facing the economy and society at large, and that people need to be aware of them and prepared for potential consequences.
