I hope I'm around to see that, because that is how life really should be. Simple, about family and real happyness. Not about how wealthy you are, how much you payed for your car, and how many pairs of $400 jeans you own. Instead of commuting 4 hours a day to your shitty office job that you paid $36,000 worth of schooling for, you'll walk down the street to your tailoring business, or the distillery that survives entirely on locally grown ingredients. That your neighbour down the street grows.

And your stupid Audi that you want everyone to notice you in (they don't care) will be replaced by your shoes, a locally made bicycle, or maybe (and most likely) a horse, since I can't imagine to many places will have a local bike maker. And since there won't be any 80,000lb trucks rolling down the highway, if you live 200 miles away from the closest bike building guy, it's going to take 3 1/2 days to get there.

Hopefully inflation falls through the floor and money starts actually meaning something again. Yo, I just bought a house for $675,000! good deal! Will be turned into Yo, I just bought a house for $422! Good deal!


A man can hope. Globalization ruined this planet.
