Number nine, privacy, is particularly troubling to me.

Number two, blackouts, is also a problem. It is well known that our power infrastructure is ripe for hackers and terrorists.

Well known, but never happens.

NO, they are not more resilient when you add the complexity of variable renewable power.

If privacy is disappearing, you get a world where people can be segregated based on ideology ... Divergent or 1984 or Brave New World, depending on tolerances and methods of control.

Cannot even get a reasonable glimpse without being inundated with ads which of course will never go away.

Much speculation. The only one worth while is the privacy one, that I believe.

All the incandescent light bulbs I want are sold 9 miles away.

I hate click bait and wish this column would just be a column, instead of a pop-up ad nightmare if you want to see the next thing.

Number 11: Global communism

well maybe wishful thinking but here is hoping multiculturalism can be achieved by the nation state and respect between nations.

Pretty much anything infrastructure related.

Here in MI just in the last few months, water(Flint), power(brother was just out for almost a week after windstorm), sewer/water(sinkholes, 60+ year old water/sewer lines, lead/other contamination)

And of course(on the "privacy" side)the full implementation of "the internet of things" means NO privacy...at least not for the peons and serfs.

Not a particularly religious person myself, but a case can certainly be made for prophecy...where it relates to the degradation of humanity anyway.

Picture this snowflake society should a REAL depression/power-grid failure/terrorist attack(real or false flag)hit.

Guess the lesson is to always be prepared, have a course of action, and of course...LOTS of Twinkies!

The plow ain’t going away as long as we keep raising

that evil weed tobacco.

Privacy is a lost cause.
