In the interest of continiung the conversation, he is my best guess...
Looking at the stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) we'll hit the turning point when we've come to accept that continuous growth is not necessaril…
I don't think we can look for a bottom, as we did in the days of incremental adjustments to the same system. We will likely be able to recognize a turning point when there are new winners and losers announced. Right now, the banks are essentially wa…
Even the economists agree that we are in a recession. This is as much as collapse of public trust and confidence as anything else.

unskilled labor.
Just thinking a bit here about concepts, ideas, etc. that may seem distinctly "old fashioned" or perhaps just plain "dated" in the future...
A few ideas come to mind, such as "retirement", "privacy", and perhaps even "social security".
What else s…

Endless consumption, growth for the sake of growth, CEO worship, instant gratification through easy credit.... these things all need to go by the wayside.
