Moms will break the bad news: "I'm sorry honey, we can't afford that. We have to buy food." That is taking place now. It will take place more as "business" and credit dries up around the world.

Seems is 30 years late to the party.
That we can go over the Asymptote and float down to a sustainable level and enjoy the Holidex.... :twisted:
[quote] What is the Difference Between Entrained Air and Cavitation? Along with entrained air, cavitation is a top candidate for causing pump problems. Cavitation occurs when the pumps internal pressures are lower than the vapor pressure of the liquid which results in rapid vapor formation within the pump which collapse as the liquid is swept into the higher pressure regions of the pump. The cavitation effect may cause material damage to the impeller and possibly casing, which is resultant of the sudden formation and implosion of vapor bubbles. [/quote]
The USSR was the 'pump' that was cavitating with the Berlin Wall.
Cheap oil could no longer be supplied to the Warsaw Pact.
To bleed the air, the Berlin Wall was collapsed. Not enough.
A coup to 'streamline efficiencies' was carried out in Moskva.
But instead, an 'Entrained Air' moment occurred. Nothing moved anywhere in the USSR. It disintegrated.
[quote]For reasons already presented in Part 1, I believe that per capita consumption rate is an important indicator of the direction and magnitude of economic growth/de-growth, and, that below a certain low level or per capita consumption (e.g., less than 1 barrel of petroleum per person per year, b/py) the petroleum driven food production system of a region starts to decline, along with a concurrent and proportional an increase in starvation and death in that region. In particular, my thesis is that that the extent of population decline is in direct proportion to that needed to keep per capita consumption at 1 b/py, until the population drops to its pre-petroleum era population, which I have assumed to equal that regions population in 1900.[/quote]
[quote]Final thoughts Of course, if the disaster presented above for rAP occurs, it would, by far, be the greatest magnitude of human loss and suffering in the history of mankind. This would eclipse the starvation and population decline of 1 billion I predicted for AF and FS by 2026, or the 67 million population decline in JP predicted to start a few years later in about 2033. All told then, we are looking at population declines for the four regions of rAP, AF, FS and JP totaling about 3.4 billion people by the end of my study period in 2065.[/quote]
