Sadly, we can expect thing will get much worse going forward. The huge debt load by nearly all wealthy nations will require larger service costs. That means something must be cut. And the green silliness has increased the costs of energy despite not being even near the ability to do without. Our diets may need to adjust to food shortages and our budgets will be stressed.

The good news is that 2008 medicine might now be taken with all of us feeling the pinch. That also means that many who were able to change bums to unhoused might need to find a productive activity like digging in the garden just prior to them becoming bums.

Planned obsolescence in hard goods like washers is a real issue. Where they once were designed to last 30 years, they now might get to 15. But it seems our phones are now seeing resistance. I hung on to my iPhone 4 until I could no longer update applications; my SE came via a used one on eBay. I don't need a larger phone nor a smarter one. But the batteries are an issue that must be managed.
