If You Don't Believe Cassandra

..maybe you'll listen to Francis:
There will be suffering. It will be massive. Some will die.

Yet the reckoning is at hand. It cannot be delayed much longer: even if the rising some foresee should fail to materialize, our current profligacy and laissez les bon temps roulez insouciance cannot last more than a year or so from here. No matter how well politically connected you are, you cannot consume what no one has produced.

As usual, you should read it all. I'd like to think that America is an exception to his vision, but reality says to me that it's not, anymore than the Roman Empire or the British Commonwealth was. I'm old, I'll only see the start of the collapse. Most of you will live it.

Good luck.
