Wow! Did I really just type that?

Now what will happen? Several paths, none pretty.

Unless the world sheds the +20% of dead weight population and ~25% waste by governments. I think we are headed to a massive die off.

I think a 1929 style recession will open the door to a major political shift, away from republics.

In short? RUCK UP! It's gonna' get sporty!
