Dislocated, Relocated - Socio Economic Repercussion!

Repercussions of global economic collapse are many... mass unauthorised migration of displaced citizens is one, it may be the least spoken of, yet the most potent in terms of societal effect.

What distinguishes today's economic depression is scope, depth and penetration... it being worldwide.

In past times depressions and hard times were often a faraway, distant event, happening elsewhere.

Somewhere, someplace... things weren't so bad and eventually regional "have's" tended to be a shock absorber for the struggling region and over time balance and equilibrium restored some sort of normalcy to the afflicted region.

Today's depression represents a true frontier... it is probably unprecedented and so pat solutions are theoretical, untried and untested. So far the writhing of NWO inspired elitist governance to address issues... has quickened the descent into the quicksands of collapsed global economic folly, hastening ultimate demise, not arresting it.

The world wide phenomena could be likened to every country being latched onto a single buoy, which when deflated dragged all regions, municipalities, corporations and individuals down to the bottom of a pit... the depth of which is still yet to be plumbed. Having all the eggs in one basket... so old wisdom says... is never wise. Old wisdom is old, because it rings true.

An earmark of depressed regions is evacuation, which is now occurring in never seen before droves. These folks are called economic refugees.

Desperate migration of Europe's unemployed, as the jobless masses head north to Britain and Germany in search of work

International Organization for Migration
Estimated number of international migrants worldwide

The total number of international migrants has increased over the last 10 years from an estimated 150 million in 2002 to 214 million persons today.

As folks find themselves without a livelihood reality commands action. Relocating to less desperate regions is a traditional way to forge self-survival and sufficiency. Mostly... regions accepting fleeing talent have benefited and often enriched their culture and productivity through accepting immigrants providing a win win situation. That was then and this is now!

But what happens when the target host nation is plagued with the same chronic unemployment malady as the nation being exited. That by and large is the picture today, and knowing human nature will probably not be a pretty picture when all is said and done.

From the frying pan into the fire...

Naturalized citizens of countries have often displayed empathy and encouragement for displaced persons and accommodate as best they can. The circumstances in times of surfeit often lend themselves well to additional population, but what happens when the host target country is fighting for its own survival and its back is also to the economic wall?

My guess is disgruntlement.

Particularly when citizens see no opportunity for their own population or worse, for their own children.

Encroachment by more disenfranchised strangers cannot possibly sit well... can it?

The question has yet to be raised seriously in the popular press who seem more inclined to publish pre-fashioned press release pap for their sponsors, most of which spins hope and restoration, meanwhile reality disagrees.

Yet... rapid influx of unneeded additions to the struggling regional family is a situation of brutal consequence and ignoring it and probable consequences is foolhardy. Surely in the coming months... as conditions worsen, disgruntlement will turn to angst, then retribution.

I cannot see otherwise, but then I usually face reality head on. The examples here are Greece, but the same challenges face all nations to some degree or another. Burgeoned by crushing debt, shrinking economy and rising unemployment, few if any regions will escape this coming tidal wave of displaced person incursion, and most are ill-prepared.

This may be a harbinger of things to come...

Greek Fears of Social Backlash and Destabilization

Greece, as in other parts of the Mediterranean Sea, seems to be making history over the past year and proceeding into the unknown through a circle of violence, change and transformation.

For those interested in self-awareness through discernment, it is probably a good time to consider the enormity and ramifications of culture clashes as indigenous populations react to ever worsening economic conditions, exacerbated by foreign influx and added strains to already tenuous social safety nets.

Once the rocks appear through well worn pavement, a rough ride is all but guaranteed.

Survival instinct is base and usually uncontainable. Many times cultural baggage presents another layer of complexity rather than the traveller, often racial discrimination is blamed for unrest, but usually it is economic stresses behind frustration.

Today's possible 'flight to' destinations are the ones which may crack first.

Austerity-A Fancy Word for Destitute.

The reason for this post is not for the folks who have been caught in the first wave of personal economic hard reality, but the next wave. Regardless of the optimism espoused by grinning leaders and sycophant press, we are entering the final stage of global economic collapse. It began in 2008 and was forestalled for five years with fudge putty, but the weight of global indebtedness cannot be propped any longer and the final crunch is imminent. Austerity measures herald the final throes.  Indications of coming austerity.   Austerity measures are the final last ditch effort, futile or not! Back in the day many of us old-timers went through periods of "hard-times". In retrospect I realize there is no comparison to yesteryear hard times and today's version. Back then, expectations were never very high for the working class, there were no sophisticated systems or conveniences anyway. In fact the difference between being "set" or not was about having treats or not. Si...

Terrifying Arctic methane levels

A peak methane level of 3026 ppb was recorded by the MetOp-B satellite at 469 mb on December 11, 2021 am. This follows a peak methane level of  3644 ppb  recorded by the MetOp-B satellite at 367 mb on November 21, 2021, pm. A peak methane level of 2716 ppb was recorded by the MetOp-B satellite at 586 mb on December 11, 2021, pm, as above image shows. This image is possibly even more terrifying than the image at the top, as above image shows that at 586 mb, i.e. much closer to sea level, almost all methane shows up over sea, rather than over land, supporting the possibility of large methane eruptions from the seafloor, especially in the Arctic.  Also, the image was recorded later than the image at the top with the 3026 ppb peak, indicating that even more methane may be on the way. This appears to be confirmed by the Copernicus forecast for December 12, 2021, 03 UTC, as illustrated by the image below, which shows methane at 500 hPa (equivalent to 500 mb). Furthermore, ...

Women and children overboard

It's the  Catch-22  of clinical trials: to protect pregnant women and children from the risks of untested drugs....we don't test drugs adequately for them. In the last few decades , we've been more concerned about the harms of research than of inadequately tested treatments for everyone, in fact. But for "vulnerable populations,"  like pregnant women and children, the default was to exclude them. And just in case any women might be, or might become, pregnant, it was often easier just to exclude us all from trials. It got so bad, that by the late 1990s, the FDA realized regulations and more for pregnant women - and women generally - had to change. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) took action too. And so few drugs had enough safety and efficacy information for children that, even in official circles, children were being called "therapeutic orphans."  Action began on that, too. There is still a long way to go. But this month there was a sign that ...
