Expect almost everyone doing non-urgent stuff, from hollywood to academia to to the space program to govt, to be shifted into urgent stuff. Labor is VERY tight. Capital is too (though at least we dont have to pay back all those nasty debts), only thing that isnt is food.

Im not sure you have the labor force to maintain 2007 technological levels. OTOH robotics is urgent, as it could help you out of the labor shortage.

Birth control will be discouraged.

Folks will want to head out into the wilderness to live off grid, as individuals or communes, but govt may discourage, both so they dont get in the way, and cause labor is needed. How can government discourage it? Build an enormous wall on the Mexican and Canadian borders?

And if they're going out into the wilderness on other continents, or Pacific islands, or whatever, they're going to be simply out of reach, particularly given their off-the-grid-ness.

Anyway, I take back my earlier post - it isn't a boring thread.
