> the worst economic depression in history

You need to touch grass, friend. I am as concerned with the direction of things as anyone, but this is extreme hyperbole.

There's nothing extreme about my statement. People have just adapted themselves into extinction, which is what happens to you when you don't have children.

Food is cheap and plentiful, which is why people are still denying that it is the worst economic depression in history.

So you're saying the complete lack of evidence of economic depression is a mere distraction from the reality that the evidence is just hiding? Is the depression in the room with us now? Can I speak to it?

The collapsed birth rates is the evidence. The enormous disparity between worker productivity and worker compensation is the evidence. Economic recession doesn't always spell hunger, it can have other consequences.

But seeing the way you are talking, I think you will be uninterested in any and all evidence and more interested in blowing off steam on the internet.
