ParticipantThe good people of Detroit did not lose their minds because of unemployment, they did so because someone said the magic word “FREE.” Even during record employment, hysteria breaks out when you use tht word. How many times have you been in a line at a store the day after thanksgiving during record employemt years because they were going to sell a cretain amount of a certain thing for a ridiculously low price.
Large uprisings (not scirmishes or protests) break out mostly for just a few reasons, unemployment isn’t one of them. The most common are when basic food and medicine needs cannot be met (we are past the days of famine, and pandemics cause people to avoid crowds), racism, when someone uses the words “free” and of course….soccer in any country other than the united states.

Participant[quote=Russell]Not going conservative Arraya, just looking at how risk impacts the average Joe(me),regardless of how some of those risks get embedded into our society by those stinking conservatives and liberals. Realizing risk is a fact of life, what really matters is; do I see it clearly and what can and can’t I do about it relative to immediate importance to me …or, in the case of “Three Weeks to Chaos” type false alarms, lack of.
Events like you mentioned don’t surprise me, however otherwise disturbing they are. They don’t qualify as a desperate spiral to doom regardless if they are the result of eons of unjust schemes, from conservatives.They always happen in different flavors.They could, of course, spiral, but I don’t see revolution on a grand scale coming. I think (more)international warfare will come before that. If it doesn’t this is just another hiccup.[/quote]
Fair enough.
However, I’ll keep in simple. The coming collapse and associated societal dislocation is unstoppable. The inertia is too great. When looked at in such a light, it becomes foolish to think of it as “negative”. Though, undoubtedly, will be the reaction of the majority.
In the mean time, get use to market dislocations and scenes like the one above because we are a long long way from bottom and any type of “recovery” will not look like what anyone expects.
On that note. I think this kid has a good take on it and something you may relate to. Cheers.

ParticipantArraya,
I did enjoy reading that, thanks. I think I’ll read it a couple of times more. Not much too disagree with there. I don’t agree with a three year time frame for collapse. India and China are just gearing up to consume. If there is anything left it could go on for a while. I can’t say that I am not part of the problem. The solutions as described actually are appealing to me…as you probably figured. Cheers to you too!
