How is the Coming Global Depression Going to Really Impact Us? (Part I)

Ever since I began my unpaid sabbatical earlier last year (2009 - it didn't start out that way, but here we are), I have been reading and researching extensively about the state of the world economy. Initially it was a bit of an on-and-off affair, as I was busy pursuing other interests as well. But by end of August of '08 so many events were happening (or had happened) worldwide that I just could not resist delving more deeply and full time into the underlying causes of the developing crisis. I also began to research and contemplate what lay ahead, and how it would really affect us.


One of the biggest disappointments is going to be (and has been, in my opinion) the education system. The paper pushing jobs, for which the education system is producing en masse, are literally going to vanish. A lot more people will have to either get involved in producing real goods. Too many free lunches have been taken by too many people staring blankly and meaninglessly at computer screens in cube farms or shuffling paper around or doing bullshit bureaucratic stuff.
