Sunfish sums it up well. What the world needs is a global reset. The way things are going is not sustainable. You can't have an economy with little or no workers. You can't have a fair percentage of the population living on government handouts and welfare. When there aren't enough people paying taxes, the government ends up borrowing to pay the welfare and then ends up borrowing to pay the interest on those borrowings. A bit like being maxed out on your credit card, and getting another one to pay for the first one.
