Anybody else feel a nice big war coming? Last time this happened was the Depression, took a few years for it to start but now in a world run by machines it could come much faster. Time honored cure all for the problems caused by corrupt bankers and governments, wipe the slate clean and get a few tens of millions killed, just part of doing corrupt business.

“Last time this happened was the Depression”

Pretty much the same causes now. 1/2 of the labor force was rendered obsolete. If history has taught us anything, it should be that large masses of people with nothing but time on their hands tend to cause problems.

The problem is that we may be headed for a perfect repeat of the 1930's: severe economic malaise plus increased political extremism that only has one ugly result: a general world war. And we still have several thousand operational nuclear weapons, many of which will hit their targets within 30 minutes of the order to use these weapons.

Will we be living in a situation where we're getting economic growth from 2020 on under the shadow of 35-40% of the human race wiped out by world war?
