Unified Economic and Environmental Theory of Our World

Facts:
Almost all minerals and metals are in short supply around the world, with mine output shrinking as demand continues increasing.

Agricultural production is also generally declining, along with available farmland.

Patent applications worldwide are decreasing and the individual impact of each patent is becoming less.

We are headed into an *ice age with rapidly increasing ocean temperatures, more precipitation in coastal areas, more dramatic weather extremes, a generally higher energy atmosphere, and more earthquakes, and volcanoes fracturing the landscape.

*If you believe the pervuasive global warming falsehoods, then you have misplaced your basic scientific reasoning along with your political skepticism filter.

Every country employees fiat currency and backs it with - more fiat currency. Despite the Euros' claim of gold backing at 15% or so, you cannot exchange Euros for gold. Fiat currency with a false political promise is all you are left with.

Almost every country actively debases, overprints, their currency hopelessly attempting to keep pace with other countries like the U.S. that are inflating at 10% plus rates to keep the exports flowing. Each scrap of currency lays a claim on resources including minerals, metals, food, human labor, ideas, a good stiff drink, a golf game, or a particularly jiggly stripper.

Opinion:

With all the currency claims printed today running to the nearest jiggly strip center to imbibe more from the CostcoSamsWalmartville bar, we soon run into the problem of the bar running empty. See the level of platinum production, or oil, gold, iron, tantalum - the cabinet is not being restocked as fast as we are sloshing the good stuff down our collectively gulping throats.

With my new Solomon's Something's Gotta Give (SSGG or S2G2 or SG or....) Unified Economic and Environmental Theory, I suggest that we will keep running the cubbard more bare, see decreasing agricultural production, mining become less fruitful, and more money begging for more goods. We will experience great currency debasement leading to the U.S. disposing of the FRN (Federal Reserve Note, distinctly different from a constitutionally defined Dollar) in the stead of the Amero just as the FRN flatlines. More currency will cease being able to buy more stuff as the social contract breaks down.

Fewer children born, more starvation due to inflated currencies, political misdeads, wars, international trade disputes, and ice age related weather patterns. Lower population will lighten the burden on minerals, metals, and life giving goods from the earth until the point where the Ice Age kicks in with massive dumps of snow in the 50 feet plus range, creating a scraper, crusher, replenisher for the earth.

12,000 or so years later, the Mother Earth bar will be fully restocked, population will be on the rise, and we will all be powered by nuclear batteries and living in Second Life version X, loving every minute of it. Linux may have even displaced Windows by then.

Just remember...you heard it hear first.
