i have a job that among other things deals with predicting world trends and market fluxuations.
now mayan predictions of the end of the world or no, there is some merit to the timing giving the information i have compiled and the research of hundreds that have been doing the same for decades.
all it would take is these three events to trigger an economic, and in turn political meltdown.
a major shift in market structre towards proped up stability (already has happened)
and end of the general give and taking (loaning, but also to a simpler point trust) that necessitate most trading (almost has completely happened)
any major world event either involving natural disasters or electronics (given what nasa data has been i believe that both could happen by having one of the solar flairs that the sun has been sending out all to frequently recently hit earth)
the first two are practly happening, now if anything happens to shake up the boat (the boat being earth) well you take a guess, the fact is 6.8 billion people are barely supported with the economic structure we have, now if thats gone what happens?
as long as stagnation and mistrust permeiates the economy the problems we have now will not recover,
fact remains that the only reason america survived the stunts of the goverment during the depression was because we had the upper hand at the end of WW2.
now same sunts, much grander scale, and let me tell you if suddenly america finds intself in a place where it can not pay its debtors (china) they will be coming to collect.
depressing yes, but it proves a point, it will get better thanks to the proping up, but as long as the natural rise and fall is not respected then when it does fall it will be much worse than it could have been
