Our economy is unsustainable. That means at some point in the future it will
cease to be sustained. People will lose homes and jobs, and lifestyles will
change. Sound familiar to our present day scenario? In my previous post I added
a link to the Crash Course, a video series about the challenges America faces
over the coming 10 years from our oil addiction: our generation gap of baby
boomers retiring and not enough workers to pay for their retirement, our
incredibly increasing debt, our lack of savings, and our exponential growth due
to fossil fuel consumption resulting in a degrading supply of resources as well
as destruction of the ecology we depend on for life. Peak Oil was another issue
I brought up in a recent blog. All of these issues will bring about future
scenarios that can play in multiple ways. (You can watch these videos from my
post here.)
