Very-Very-Very Scary how FAST things can go to Hell.

I suspect most are not planning for instant anarchy.

It feels to me like the whole worlds, (as in many-many countries) at the edge of Eruption.

There are big riots going on right now in many countries. Seems odd and ominous.

I'm sure my dad felt the same way during his lifetime. As a youth during THE depression his savings were deprecated to the cost of a pocket watch. World II, Koren war, Cold War, Cuban missile crisis, Viet nam - Desert Storm - Desert Storm II, Jimmy Carter inflation and the Clintons.

The contagion is spreading around the world: Chile, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Barcelona....what is next?

Yes..........And you stated it better than I did. It really is "Ominous". I was attending RIT in Rochester, New York from 1966 through 1969 as the city burned with endless riots. This has that same feel of frustration and bitterness, the exasperated need to strikeout and destroy.

Wow. I always thought Chile was one of the most stable, if not THE most stable, of all Latin American countries.

I read an article last week about how Chile privatized water so it could be taken away from regular farmers and used to water Avocado trees for large corporate farms. The small farmers had no voice and no one cares. Sounds just like Venezuela without the oil.

Fortunately we live in a capitalist country (for now anyway).
If there is a shortage of anything, the price goes up, there is money to be made, and people/companies step up and produce more.
Good ol' supply and demand rulz!

The problem with socialist countries is when they reach a tipping-point and there is a shortage, there is no impetus to produce more. Nobody is going to make any money.
All we can do is "vote&pray" that we don't join them.

Anarchy always starts in the cities, due to numbers and impact, people out in the country are mainly law abiding that's why there is little if any crime where I live.
