They can slow down this process to a crawl, as we have seen, but they can't stop it from happening. It's only a matter of time.

This is the main reason why i agree that we will not see a "great depression" again.

BUT!!!

I do not know what to call what we are going into.
For many it will be the greatest depression.
For others it will be the greatest time of inventions and freedom

On one front you will see people standing in line for food and worrying about their credit scores.

On another we will see personal food production flourish with the help of robotics and new planting methods that grow 3x as much with 10% of the time.

We will see Tesla cars die and people trying to nurse along old ICE cars to continue to go to work...

and we will see people working remotely and enjoying flying cars.

We will see the end of govern-cement socialism/communism
and the end of crony-capitalism.
We may also see the end of capitalism. (as in having to gather capital)
And what comes next is probably something, not even futurist authors have written about.
