It's all fucking fucked
Money, Society, Systems thinkingAs the chaps at Global Dashboard point out, this graph really does not require much comment. It sure as hell requires an explanation though.
It’s really enough to make me cry and be thoroughly depressed.
The positive side is that we have proved we can get it together to act fast and spend lots of money when we think we really need to. The question then becomes what will be the trigger than makes the world realise that a slow burn is still a burn? Much like the economic “bailout”, a problem plenty of people saw coming years off (myself included, I’m pyrhhically proud to say – I actually has a long debate with the Treasury and FSA about it in Aug 2007), it will probably come way too late.
Seriously, just LOOK AT THAT GRAPH. What the hell? RAGE!!
