If collapse is defined as swathes of the country either being abandoned or placed under indefinite martial law and if current trends in terms of housing, education, health, wages, pollution, infrastructure and climate change continue

Then around 20-25 years, 10-15 years if the worse case scenarios for climate change become reality

if the worse case scenarios for climate change become reality
