I started to post this to "Gorbatchov" question.
The world will not be the same. We all know this.
The voice of "Christmas Future"
The governments will infuse trillions of dollars into the corporations, not its people. This money of course has no real value. It hasn't since 1935 when we went off the gold standard. Because of this, the corporations will survive the coming crash. Why? Because government IS big business.
There was a lot of personal freedoms (human rights) that went away after the 9/11 event and most if not all will go away in the future as we head into Orwellian times.
As George Carlin once said "There are no rights, only temporary privileges."
There will be a collapse bigger than 1929. However the banks and major corporations will survive it, They will consolidate their power. They will bring that power to bare on the those who are not in their club. "The useless eaters" as they like to call us. There will be no "Go Bags" because you are not going anywhere!
People will finally realize that the world was never really run by politics and religion but by big business....just watch the movie "Network."
If you are in an industrial nation everyone will be required to join their club, whether you want to or not. Everyone will get their chip inserted into them, or who knows maybe it will be injected by way of a vaccine that people will line up for.
People in third world countries and those already living off the grid will fair better than those who are still playing games on their TVs and cells phones.
So your only choice will be which subsidiary of the only 5 corporation left in the world you will be working for. "Hi my name is Tommy I work for Safeway a division of Exxon oil."
In the end they will have control of 80% of the planet as we head into...."1984"
There is another option. There could be an uprising.
In which case the movie goes from "1984" to "Mad Max" which is also very scary.
Don't think this is a possibility? How much has your world changed in just three weeks!
Your thoughts?
