I don't know much about economics, if anything at all, but if I had to guess I'd say it's gonna suck being stuck in the muck during this transition. The way I imagine it, the people on top are probably going to try to make a lot of weird and unfair policies to try to keep things the way they are, slowing down the process of change and hurting a lot of people along the way. I think the biggest thing we'll have to overcome is a lot more people are going to be staring down the barrel of the unemployment gun and feel like there's nowhere to go. Without good, strong safety nets put in place early, this could lead to a lot of unhappy people.
