We have heard in the media that we are seeing unemployment that is reminiscent of the great depression. The homeless population is growing. The people are coming out of a long, deep coma and realizing that the system isn't perfect. You can work hard all your life, have a savings account, retirement account, college savings for the children, a mortgage that you are chipping away at month by month and suddenly....one day...you are told by the company that you have given your lifeblood to that they need to downsize. The shareholders are expecting a certain return and to reach that goal...well, you've got to go. How can this happen? You did everything that you were told and expected to do. What happened to the American dream? We are entering a great depression of own. When our descendants learn about this moment in history, will they feel pride or disgust at their ancestors? The decisions should be easy. Let's leave a better world for them.
Jacque Fresco talks a little about what he experienced during the great depression.
