2. There are no more capable workers. With this I don't mean they don't exist. No, it's worse. All capable workers are either retired early, gone, living life minimalistic or straight up won't ever have the chance to develop himself due to the retarded system.
This will be one of the 3 big issues that will make the situation so much worse when the shortage hits: there's no reason whatsoever for the capable men to produce what the countries need, because there's not a single reward for them.
1. Production is stopping. The energy crisis has hit bullshit levels that companies are not only NOT investing in equipment or extra people, but also they are straight up cutting capacity, canceling projects and even reducing skeleton crews.
Factories are effectively shutting down everywhere in the west and expansion projects are being cancelled, including big traditional names that shouldn't during a downturn (consumer staples).
Expect shortages soon as money printing will make it worse.
Important announcement: the West economy has officially run out of steam.
Governments have officially killed it and we're about to enter great depression levels of hardship and this time, it's going to be so much worse than one century ago because everything that worked in favor of western countries back then, we have none of those positive conditions and many new negative bullshit that were unthinkable back then.
I'll post below in different posts a report of the situation on the ground.
World Cup 2030!
