Tom, Thank you for reading and I agree. We all need to plan a transitional adaptation together with like minded people/loved ones and start a deliberate contraction of our own economies. We sold our house(s) and bought one up North (we were in FL-in the path of hurricanes and sea level rise) A much smaller (950sq ft) with my in-laws and finished the basement to accomodate me and my partner when we are in town in the summer and we bought and renovated a used RV and are camping on BLM land right now $180/7 months in AZ. We went from 5000 sq ft +in two houses between two families with all the attendant maintenance, taxes and energy use to solar powered RV, limited water use and a Berkey for our drinking water instead of single-use plastics. Trying controlled contraction rather than a forced collapse. Hope it works.
