But not necessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m here with some good news today. There remains a multitude of options that each of us can and&nbsp;should&nbsp;do to prepare for what lies ahead. And in so doing, we can help to avert the worst of it, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But only if enough of us try. Critical mass is key here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the world is busy collapsing around us. That\u2019s true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But collapse is a process, not an event. It can be ameliorated and even reversed, depending on the actions we decide to take from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there\u2019s still time left to change our fate.&nbsp; Not much, mind you. But enough to matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that more and more people are heeding the call and taking action. The bad news is that too many still aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the worse news is that the many entrenched powers of the status quo are working against our future best interests, as they desperately cling to old notions of advantage, wealth, and privilege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Save The World By First Saving Yourself We each have a role to play in how the world recovers from the coming crisis Ripped from today\u2019s headlines: Negative Interest Rates Are Coming And They Are Downright Terrifying (Yahoo!
