“7. Unrest will grow worse as food, energy and other necessities become more expensive. The unrest started in poorer countries but, as prices continue to rise, will spread to more affluent nations. Can “Democratic movements” occur in supposedly already democratic societies?”

I guess that depends on the country.
Here in the Philippines, the climate does not change, so
no one will go cold.
No one has any money, and most live in third world housing and conditions, but they entertain themselves and stay happy.
Veggies, fruit, and fish are plentiful all year.
I can easily see many horrors in the US and Europe, but for
here, I feel safe.
What do you think will happen when all of those billions of cold, hungry people find out who has all those veggies, fruit, and fish?
