Hi all,

New member here

I believe the main threat facing us is a long slow deterioration in living standards which at some point will hit a tipping point - mass disobedience, strikes, water/food/fuel shortages, breakdown in law and order and so on.

Not as sexy as asteroid strike, nuclear war, pandemic etc.

Looking at current events, this is happening (for all manner of reasons) in the middle east and on the peripheries of Europe. I do not see the situation improving.

I may be wrong (and would dearly love to be proven so). My guesstimate is for a tipping point to be reached in a couple of years.
