Economy is cracking up: http://thegreatrecession.info/blog/econ ... acking-up/

I give this guy credit...he bet his blog that the crash would occur this summer and has discontinued the blog.
But he points out in the final blog entry just how precarious the economy is.

I'm posting this here as well as the peak oil thread because it is in both "fields" and is important, and not everyone follows all threads

John admits that climate change is already a problem, if not a crisis yet. It is already contributing to our troubles from A to Z. And technology will not help us in this decade, nor the next, at least until the Singularity.
Here is how climate change will influence the next Crash, which will occur in the next decade if not this one.

Is misclassifying an unavoidable contributing problem an "avoidable major problem" a problem?

Disasters are "overcome" by use of surplus resources to "fix" that which broke.

When surplus resources are low, or nonexistent, then "fixes" don't happen, and a new homeostasis prevails, and continues. The new normal becomes normal, except for those who "resentfully" remember the "better old normal". And their resentful bitterness grows. If they don't die quickly enough, so that "the kids" can become "comfortable" with the new normal, then the resentment grows for another generation. Lather, rinse and repeat.

Maintaining the "status quo" is NOT the "job" of the great masses of people, it is the job of the "politicians" (and their elite hangers-on) who reap the great majority of the benefits of the status quo. But it is the great masses of people who decide when the status quo is to change.

..with a bit of help, or hindrance, from the environment, of course. Aloha! <shaka nui!>

When the everything bubble bursts it will be worse than the Great Repression:
