A deer living in the woods is having a normal life. However, if in the long term future some kind of artificial means or ways, ahead of its natural time, enables the deer have a much better life, (too soon) like barns to live in, and being fed, and it encouraged more baby deer being born, and after a while the artificial means gradually stopped working, the good life would gradually end for many of the deer.
Re your…”How long are they supposed to wait?” That’s the problem. They didn’t wait long enough. Global integration, to create a global USA would have evolved naturally over 100-200-300 years, but after 1913, the printing press, loans, artificial money and fake currency exchange rates, almost, but failed, in 2008, to do it all in only ONE generation.
Re your “No jobs and poverty”? Now that the whole rigged system has problems, reversing the integration, and going back to separate independent nations, that produce their own needs and import ONLY what they don’t have, would be the opposite of global production efficiency which eliminates jobs. Efficiency is good if population is declining. Efficiency or higher productivity is good if it results in more leisure time off. But that never happened.
In fact we went backwards. Used to be 40 hours a week, now its 80 plus. The old idea sold to leaders, about consolidating global production may have made sense long ago, but now we see the results.
The whole system needs change. 🙂 They’ll probably just have to give a standard salary like Social Security Checks globally to people that want or need it to avoid “No jobs and poverty”. They can also use tax incentives and the media and to shame well off people out of or free up jobs they don’t really need .
We need to hear solutions and ideas. Not what is. What was isn’t what is.
P.S. There may still be head hunters in the Amazon jungle. Look at the Amish people staying the same, not modernized. So, in the Middle East, if half the population gradually got westernized, better life, and the other half does not want it, and the better life trend is dwindling, now you have a problem. The rebels. ISIS etc etc going against the westernized half.
