Civil unrest around the world
 

Turkey!

Brazil!

Who? Why? Where next?

Brazil?

It's due to the huge disparity between the haves and have-nots.

The people seem fed up with corrupt brutal incompetent government and finally snapped when bus fares were put up by 20 cents.

Each situation has their unique reasons but it seems that most protesters are angry about increasingly authoritative governments, corruption, stagnating economies, and decrease in quality of life for the younger middle class.


One trend that seems to be appearing is that all the up-and-coming economies are starting to stagnate. The BRICs are slowing down while Turkey and Indonesia were predicted to be part of the a "second-wave" of rapidly developing economies.

Could it be any greater than in the US?

Time to learn blacksmithery and how to make your own longbow?

That would be the healthy response...

I doubt it is greater but it is definitely shifted downwards. I was in Brazil this past December and while it was a beautiful and amazing country, overall, their infrastructure and poverty is so much worse than here in the US. Driving in Sao Paulo makes Washington D.C. and Atlanta tolerable and their are multiple stories of people showing up to an E.R. who are then told to go to another hospital via public transportation. There are entire communities living on the outskirts of Sao Paulo and Rio who literally live under cardboard. Not just a random homeless person or two, but entire communities.

Brazil, and I'm sure Turkey and Indonesia, have a lot to be proud of economically but the foundation of their growth isn't necessarily stable.

We're getting rid of all our stuff, selling our house, I'm only working contract jobs, paid off all our debt and socking my exorbitant IT fees into savings.

Will you rent or live in a motor home?

Rent.

An Airstream trailer behind a Cummins diesel would be ideal.

Now Bulgaria.
