When It Will Really Hit the Fan
And what is not being done to make this acceptable to people

I’ve danced around this for several months, but I’m afraid that the music is about to stop. The key to understanding our massive anxiety is the dichotomy between the claims of economic success and the growing perception that the criteria we use to define success are no longer realistic.
Sadly, there is a deeper level to this: we no longer have any clear idea of what success means. It is impossible to measure something you cannot define.
If our climate and food supply become precarious, stock prices don’t mean shit. The extra billions racking up in the elite’s accounts won’t even buy them food when things get bad. We are, I’m afraid, that far along.
While most people still ignore this and can continue to ignore individual disasters, a sequence of food supply disasters will put real fear into people’s minds. That’s when people move from apathy to panic.
During COVID, we saw what supply chain issues can do and how those ripple through society. Once we have major food supply issues, not just individually correctable issues with eggs or one or two other items but an across-the-board breakdown, the shit will hit the fan.
