The Forecast

[The Figment]

You would have to look at the production possibilities curve, in which opportunity cost is limited to maximize efficiency. A third wave economy in theory generates the majority of its net exports from such ventures. At some given level, it would be more costly to import instead of domestic production.

Ummmm This is all gibberish to me.....I was thinking more like an answer like "We will have to dig big holes in the Rocky Mts and fire up 40-50 year old factorys in Pittsburgh Pa or Youngstown Oh. and once we get Steel,Theres an old AMC Plant in Mich that we might get to build Armored Personell Carriers.'
In Other Words We Can't because all the Stuff We Need To Make These Things Has been Shipped Overseas.

Alcoa, the US's aluminum gem, is all throughout Europe and Asia.

Again a lot of good that does the US in case of Naval Blockade or Supply line Disruption.

I live in Wichita Ks.....Wanna see how fast an entire local economy would dry up if there is no way to get Aluminum? (Especally in Wartime) Wichita is home to ALL of the Company's That build All the Aircraft for the USAF....Aircraft Plants,Head Offices,R&D its all done Here or In Seattle.......In short no Aluminum,No Planes....

Maybe i should have been more specific.

Ummm Yeah!

The Forecast I've been on a lot of political forums that persistently discuss topics related to what the coming future will hold, however, in spite of this none of them actually discus they're own theories as to how all of these events will play out. So thats why I started this thread. I think it would help all of us out if we soaked in what has happened and discussed exactly where we see all of this going 20 or 30 years down the road. To make it simple....what do you guys think life will be like in the Rating: 5
