Robert F. Kennedy once observed "Twenty percent of this country will oppose anything."

That was in 1967. Today, it's closer to 45%. Even his son, RFK, Jr., is an avowed anti-vaxxer. I once told someone I knew, sitting in a car outside a Best Buy many years ago that all this was unsustainable. He disagreed. Well, nearly 20 years later, the Toys-R-Us is gone, so is Waldenbooks, Circut City and Mervyn's. So is Service Merchandise and a few other long gone places. Big Boy has maybe 20 stores left.

What we need is a full-on depression. It's coming. But not like the last one. The rich will only be able to hold out for so long. Governments will collapse, anarchy will take over. People will die of starvation, famine, war. By the time the dust settles, the author you cite's daughter will be 45+. I'll be dead by midcentury. I'm 63, in decent health, but in a wheelchair. I'll be among the first to be killed or die. Unless I have an 'out.' We'll see.
