The Whole World is Changing

[moneymaker]

Actually the sky is black,the blue you see is an illusion. Interesting how blue can mean sad or in the case of blue skies-happy. Black although usually associated with the dark side is actually a good thing to be in when talking accounting. “It’s all an illusion, now take your happy pill and go to sleep”. I am going out to dinner tonight, to stimulate the economy and my taste buds. Pray for me that I don’t get sucked into a store somewhere and buy an IPad or something.

For the longest time I thought we were building towards some kind of event horizon.

Now though, I don’t think that event horizon will ever be reached – at least not anytime soon. The last 2 years or so have changed the country in a lot of ways, and over the coming years things will continue to change but we will adapt.

[quote=briansd1][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]TexasLine: Actually, I do think you’re onto something here.

For the last generation or two, we’ve grown accustomed to cheap food, fuel and money and have built an unsustainable societal and business model around it.

We’ve gotten used to a unipolar world in the last twenty years and, like Rome and Great Britain, have grown complacent, lazy and morally weak.

As a country we’ve come to abhor hard choices and are unwilling to recognize that the cost of our lifestyle has grown exponentially more expensive, in terms of health care (due to poor lifestyle choices like all that cheap, commodified McDonalds food), resource extraction (fiscally ruinous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan), and business/finance (attempting to sustain wealth generation with a depleted manufacturing base and acting as though pushing pieces of paper around or selling each other overpriced houses is somehow actual work).

Nope, I think you’re right. There is a seismic change taking place and, even if you can’t see it, you can feel it coming.[/quote]

I know that we’re not on the same side of the aisle; but I agree with everything you said.[/quote]

Same here.

Good post, Allan (and Texas Line).
