I too wish it'd collapse soon, but I don't believe it will. Too many powerful interests are involved in this system to keep it going. And, the average consumer is more than happy to stay brainwashed into believing that the system is working well. I don't see a significant enough number of people outraged by what the system is doing to them and the entire population to shake the status quo. Just about 20% of pissed off consumers would be enough to bring the system to a collapse and to start building a new one provided that they will organize a robust campaign. But I don't see any such attempts. People are more than happy to stay asleep, and most of those who are "woke" don't go further than ranting and venting about it to friends or on social media or on forums like this one. So, we'll see little change in our life time.
