Yeah, the trends are negative. I hope they don't get worse. If anything, reading this book showed me that stuff like what's happening right now has happened several times before, and after some painful times, we pulled through it. (Great Depression, Railroad Trusts, Civil War, some other stuff I don't remember)

The main problem is that a whole smeggin' lot of people don't get it - and they NEED to get it to turn it around before it's too late.

This is part of that.
