Now most people would say that the democrats are doing stuff about this. they are trying to get us health care, solar power, renewable resources, power out of the hands of the few, into the hands of the many. Well I hate to say it but they are not successful. The Republicans have a plan in place for when these things occur, in fact they are depending on it to happen.
The plan is to use ALL the resources we have, all the food, all the water, all the cheep energy (basically how I look at power currently is using the power of the sun, shined down on this planet in all the years it has been here, but it was stored) We are going to burn all those resources and what will we have left? Starvation, Hunger, no power for heat, no health care for the sick, no money to help the poor... ie, finally a drop in the population of the world.
They will do the same thing they do with a company to make money, spend it's money on themselves and their friends, fire it's people to raise the stock price and sell when it is best for them, and abandon the company (and usually get a bonus from the stockholders for making them so much money). They will enrich themselves, make sure they will be in charge of what little resources we have left, and Fuck the rest of the world out of a decent place to live. They will have everything that is left, and still live a great life, while the rest of us will die, sick, hungry, poor, and miserable. And they win. The game is rigged, and it has been in the works for generations, and it is a closed party, and frankly, we are just not invited.
