CASKET INDUSTRY ON ITS DEATHBED AS CONSUMERS CHOOSE CREMATION OVER
BURIAL My comment: And as collapse intensifies and people can’t even afford
cremation, what will be done with bodies--especially in the face of
the likelihood of pandemics and natural disasters? Hmmm. Am I the
only one who is reminded of "The Road" and "The Book of Eli" here?

Never before in history has a world power like the U.S. been so
utterly buried in debt! And never before has that debt been financed
so massively by foreign investors!
COLLEGE STUDENTS: MAJORING IN DEBT
My comment: This is part of the reason I am no longer teaching
college students. Last year when I was, one of my students stated
very clearly: ‘I’m majoring in unemployment’. After forecasting this
for 11 years, it is not surprising, but still rather chilling to see
it happening in front of my eyes.

Almost everything in our modern economy is either made from oil or
requires oil. As the price of oil begins to skyrocket, therefore, so
will the price of everything else. The same happened on a smaller
scale during the temporary oil crises of the 1970s and '80s. This
rise was referred to in those days as stagflation -- stagnation of
income combined with inflation of prices, something that economists
used to say was impossible. As stagflation returns, the hardest hit
will be those with debts: car payments, house mortgages, credit
cards, student loans. But everyone will find that a dollar just
doesn’t stretch. High prices will be combined with low wages.
Flash Back: Chief global strategist at Morgan StanleyBarton Biggs says Insure yourself against war and disaster by buying a remote farm or ranch and stocking it with ‘seed, fertilizer, canned food, wine, medicine, clothes, etc’.
Re–invigorating this program is likely to
further increase the prison population, without a significant drop in crime.
My comment: As we all know, prisons will eventually become inoperable
due to lack of funds, and cities and states will be unable to pay law
enforcement staff. And in case you’ve been laying awake nights
worrying about being put in a FEMA camp, don’t assume there will be
money for those either. Can hand sanitizers like Purell really stop people from getting the flu?

The Picture This was a perfectly healthy twenty two-year-old young man who in the service of his country got half of his head blown off. I think that’s important, I think… Zinn dedicated himself to the fight against forgetting and the struggle to honor history by telling the truth.
EAT YOUR TRASH Food waste in the United States has become a growing problem for our environment.
