You have a lifeboat?

Agreed, we are at an impasse.

Current Elites have failed to manage the Crisis and have no solution other than blind faith in "the dead hand of the Market".

They have suppressed action on the issue to the point that we are indeed "in a tight corner".

This is it. This is the "Do or Die" moment.

If we don't get or act together in this decade COLLAPSE becomes the most probable outcome in my models. The components of the crisis become increasingly synergistically interlocked as we move forward in time.

It will become harder and harder to fight COLLAPSE while COLLAPSE is continuously worsening.
