How will the Depression play out?

This is going to be the first depression in a "post-community" environment. In the last depression we saw the rise of the psychopath as a functional and successful raw capitalist operator. They possessed a mental dysfunction that is perversely exceptionally functional for a lassaiz faire environment.

Carpetbaggers and independent, self-orientated "strivers" free from family and parental burdens went about the USA and the Globe grabbing what they could in the tumultuous times while community orientated folk stayed "pinned down".

But their greater rise was limited because wherever they sniffed for lucrative openings, it was defended from naked exploitation by being built out of the blocks of many entrenched sub-communities. Freeloaders and opportunists attempting to freshly jump in and muscle into open opportunities were stymied by the suspicion and resentment of the existing local community who's priority concern was defending "their own".

So many areas and industries deemed to be servicing common ground (The Commons) were defended by and large successfully. But now, after decades of psychopathic driven profit-motive, relentless, reflexive and dogmatic action means the once fundamental local communities, unions, fraternal clubs, amateur sporting associations, etc. have been either split up, sterilized or monetarized. In the coming storm of confusion there is no more "community" to stand in the way of The Rise Of The Machines and their "Opportunistic Capitalism".

Peter Schiff who was derided for his dire warnings before they all came true summed up the only future strategy he thought could help for the near future when pressed for something positive to suggest on Fox News..

"Friends and Family.. Friends and Family.." was all he could belatedly offer, much to the horror of the flaky Presenter.
