So, it looks like the collapse of human society. Then, what’s the point of big business and government? Who’s going to pay for it? Yes, tens of millions of bored, disenfranchised people are going to be a problem. It’s back to wild west, frontier life, including Indians and banditos.
I think it would be good if society started thinking ahead and starting putting systems in place to try and deal with the coming changes.
Not for everyone, but I’d like to see a new Homestead Act that gets people off the grid, being somewhat self-sufficient. Partly so that the national economy doesn’t have to carry everyone, and partly so that people have something interesting to do with their time. But not everyone wants to raise chickens or grow vegetables.
But some thought should be given to a future where social and economic expectations may be radically different.
