The only way to get this under control without a total collapse would be to ‘grow’ our way out
The whole of western civilization is like a man who kept getting bigger and bigger raises and always borrowed even a little bit more to live the standard “to which he was acustomed.” Problem is that he eventually got to a $250 an hour job (with accompanying debt) and was laid off. And he finally found a job that pays $25 an hour. There is no $250 job out there and won’t be again. But the debt remains.
There will be blood. In fact, the cop they are searching for in California right now is the type of thing that increases under these conditions.
You nailed it in your statement that “It’s out of man’s hands now” It most definitely is!! But we can trust. CO
