Nicely put, Michael!

The human race is nothing if not short-sighted. Short-term planning, short-term thinking.

Scafool says he thinks the collapse is already here. I think we're sliding down the slope, but we haven't hit bottom yet. It's getting bad, but probably not as bad as it's going to be.

I think water and food are going to be the big problems. Most of our water is contaminated, most people don't have enough storage to get through a dry month, much less a drought. California's farms are going down the toilet, and that mostly leaves us with the breadbasket of the country, which is pretty far from here and many other places.

The domino effect is going to be ugly. IMO.
