It will be something beyond my security level and pay grade.
The very fact that you can list such things is evidence that these are considerations,leading to the highest levels of the intelligence community and think tanks.
Stability will be the byword.We're not going to have anarchy in this country.
Since debt is a legal fiction,erasing debt is a matter of rearranging the ink on a piece of paper.
We like capitalism here,I suspect that this is what we'll have,although it may be a hybrid form, with some command and control.My college sociology professor talked about this.
New generations born into this world will take whatever they see as 'normal.'They'll have nothing to compare to.
At 30-years out,that's a lot of time,with slow,steady,incremental change along the timeline.That's all they've ever allowed before.
I likely won't be around.
