As it is seen:
War on drugs: Single most failed policy in the modern world. This criminalization of banned substances in the last 50 years has cost 50 trillion dollars globally, while impacting by killing, destroying or altering the lives of an estimated 2 billion persons.
Single solution: Decriminalize all banned substances!
Global recession: The catalysts that broke the backs of the middle/lower class globally was the profit speculation on the spot and futures of oil pricing. With consumers burdened with the demand of double incomes that depressed salaries in the labor market, the tempo was set. While double incomes drove up the cost of living, families artificially lost control of many excessive policies that followed. Such as the lack of scrutiny that allowed the practice of inflated interest rates from bank credit cards. Whereby $2000 or less credit card loans replaced the low cost personal loan that was affordable and a sober second thought to most. The extended mandatory insurances policies that ultimately inflated health and auto costs squeezing disposable income from family budgets. Frankly when the speculation started on the oil there was nothing left to give or give up.
Solution: Oil should no longer be a commodity for sale, nor the alternative energy that follows. Give up all mandatory insurance policies so that they cannot be exploited any longer, while artificially jacking up pricing. Note: Insurance went through the roof when claims started flowing in from those that had little other option to get ahead.
Please add your thoughts and solutions if you have any.
Thanks!
