Now We Begin The Hunger Games
IMF: Rising Prices Could Lead To War
Seriously, how hard was it to see that massive printing by Ben Bernanake and the Fed would lead to escalating food and fuel prices.
Escalating food and fuel prices would drain revenues from other areas of the economy.
Decreased revenues would lead to higher unemployment
Higher unemployment would lead to more printing and even higher food and fuel prices......
Until one day the world would be forced to fight each other to determine who gets the right to consume.
The issue is similar a growing population of deer in the woods....at some point, the deer consume so much you have to cull the herd to save the remaining herd.
I created Udderworld.com because unlike animals in the woods, humans have the ability to adjust our behavior, change the way we consume, and avoid the necessity of culling the herd. But there needs to be a willingness. And at Udderworld we found the solution by converting to a digitally based economy vs. the current industrial model. Such an adjustment would drive massive resource savings.
But based on the actions of the Gardner Bros and many on Fool....it appears that making such adjustment is simply too difficult........now the only thing left to do is sit back and see how many die as food and fuel prices will continue to rise based on current policies
....at this point, the number will likely be tens of millions higher than most of you think.
