Note Fitts:
FYI - my comments were not intended to mean I anticipate a fast die-off. I don’t. I expect lower immune systems, higher levels of toxicity, an adaptation to a loss of financial benefits and political rights and the combination leading to a slower organic die-off.
I would point out that higher death rates in the seniors means a lot more capital transfering to the next generations to keep their funding going for some period of time. It is a managed liquidation of family capital that maintains the slow burn.
