Agora Inc writers are leaving out the impact of demographic trends. There are two truths, the sun drives our climate and demographics drive markets. 37 years (two generations) of Roe v Wade has resulted in the very early demise of 55 million young American consumers. During this time one in three pregnancies has resulted in early termination. Integrate the sum under the demographic curve and you find those waves are starting to hit the economy. I ask you, just who is going to buy your home or buy your product or service? They don’t exist.

JMR thanks:) Try to seen the big picture, this is not about individuals. To be honest, easy talking for me: I live on a ranch in Bulgaria, grow my own food – green and meat – happy with wife&kids.
People in cities will get the worst when it comes to survival – of the fittest&smartest, and I wish you belong to them!

Irrational: How true that is! I’ll be checking on those corrugated futures. But seriously, you’re on to something because if a real uptick comes, the board sales would climb first!

2c: That would be a lot more fun and info (for better or worse) than this. At least a chat room for conversation. That was fun.

Another good economic indicator is corrugated board sales – and those numbers are down.

Companies are not buying the cardboard boxes like they used to, because there is less and less to ship. Companies like International Paper have been shutting board mills down the last couple of years.

I’m waiting for a GREAT IMPLOSION to occur just like what happened to Russia. When it happens it will trigger a great realignment. The problem is what to do while I’m waiting. How am I to occupy myself? Crawl into a cave get cable or a satelite dish and watch it all happen before my eyes as I grow old and feble.

A depression for mankind will be a relief for our planet earth, as long as WorldwarIII can be prevented.
Johan Cruijff (Dutch) said: every bad thing has a good thing.
And mankind will see more harsh natural selection, good for our species on the long run.
