Population? We're way past our carrying point.
Resources? Drill, baby, drill. Will it alleviate things? Not so much. But go ahead.
World economy? Do more with less, my peeps. Unless you're rich. Then you can feel free to do less with more.

Get ready for the food riots of the mid-21st.

Chin up Chris, 75% of America is either overweight or obese, so we're built for this. You got food riots? Bring it! USA! USA! USA!
Also - see that timeline going all the way back to when there were dragons on the Earth? Close your eyes and pick out a point on the line any where between then and now, any point. Bet it'll have just as much darkness and chuckle headedness as you're seeing today. BUT, a lot of them won't have a 24 hour church of Elvis. http://24hourchurchofelvis.com/ This is the time to be alive dude.

We'll make it through to the Trek era, I've no doubt. The GETTING THERE might not be as pleasant as we'd like, though...

My own preparations for this have long since been laid, it's other people I worry about, and how difficult it's gonna be to assist communities in denial when the ball goes up and they find out that the "forces of law and order" are in truth the bad guys

"They blinked and before they knew it they turned over the store to a bunch of thugs who were happy to take it off their hands. Overnight, the government, the police, everything intended to protect the people had been turned against them.
....Look, maybe we got screwed out of living in a time when we could hang out for the afternoon in a cafe someplace wearing $2,000 wristwatches, planning our next vacation, but the world got a whole lot meaner all of a sudden. It wasn't supposed to, but it did. So now it's back to the law of the jungle, and there are predators and victims."

Ummm, need I say where this came from or what I predicted based on it?

With the population of Denmark less than some US cities and 80% of their GDP coming from the service sector I don’t know if industrialized even applies to Denmark. The only reason there is opportunity in Demark is because they live next to Germany which is an industrial powerhouse. The same can be said about Canada, if they didn’t share a border with the US the only opportunity in Canada would be for the Japanese and Chinese to exploit their natural resources.

When you have further to go, it's easier to make up lots of ground than when you're standard of living is already pretty good.

And yes, I'll dismiss the apples to apples attempted comparison of a country with 5.5 million people to one of some 300 million. Just not an equal or valid side by side, sorry.

I find it funny that you think Canada's success in upward mobility is because it is next to the US. So explain then why the US is so much lower.

I would also like a citation on the fact the Denmark's success is because it is next to Germany.

Really, explain why other then just the US size, but why that difference in population matters. More so considering that the states in some ways are more like the countries in the EU the the whole of the Republic is.
