Visions of TEOTWAWKI will come out aplenty and all of them wrong. The author says "prepare to live like the Third World" like if it was a catastrophe of nature that fell upon earth. It is not going to play like that. It is a slow return to the feet back on the ground. You take the present generation and slice them up into segments. It applies to the European, American and Japanese 40 to 60: very little to worry. They're experienced enough to manipulate the political system for their own gain at the expense of the younger generations. See please: GERMANY risks becoming a “pensioners' democracy” in which “the old plunder the young” Message 24533556 30 to 40: These are in not a good situation. They look at the past when one could become an early retiree, the past when a good severance payment would allow them to move elsewhere. Young children revolting and blaming them for their lack of opportunity. They blame the leaders for let them have reached that situation. From this group will come many Elmat's who leave all behind and go seek opportunities elsewhere. 20 to 30: This is the most dangerous bracket. Once a group aware it has nothing to lose they become dangerous. Oklahoma Bomber anti-central government. Anti-immigrant. Anti-affirmative action... Used to a system, will leave productive lives in another. Severely burdened by the 40 to 60 group. It was the unemployed doctors who were the SS members. In the good side, it is from this group that will raise the ones, who will make the turnaround, in another 30 years. Note that it was the leftists of the late 60s and early 70s that ended Brazil’s ‘lost decade’ and kick started the present boom. 10 to 20: This will be a big loss and a waste of talent. They will end in Hua Hin -Thailand- trying an Internet business to export clothes or frozen shrimp. Many of them will end up in Brazil. 0 to 10: They will reach 30 with a vague idea of what the world was in 2008. By the time they become 20 it will be already dawned on them that that what their parents lived was a done deal.
