Although it plays out in complex scenarios, the underlying metaphor is simple: the pie is shrinking and the numbers of those seeking a share of that pie are increasing. I know you see a rapid crash rather than a slow decline. Whether something is considered rapid or slow can be rather subjective. Now in my sixties, I started preaching to friends and extended family a couple of years ago that sources I had been reading on the peak oil issue had some pretty compelling arguments that the shit was going to hit the fan in as early as two or three years. To me two or three years was just around the corner, but to my twenty-something nieces and nephews and children, I might as well have been talking about the next century. Well, to use another well worn phrase, the perfect storm now seems primed to break over us. But not yet. I keep wondering what event or crisis will have to happen before a critical mass of the population gets it and we start mounting a collective response.<BR/>LPWuzZappninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933662899972534641noreply@blogger.com
