To accommodate the remaining few service industry jobs left in America, the common folk will by necessity reduce cost of living this way, and survive, in solar oriented, solar heated, super-insulated smaller , and highly efficient homes. Workplaces offering dorms to cut transportation costs will not be uncommon, and few will work more than four out of six or ten days. Time spent with family and friends will be increased greatly, time for gardening, fishing, small scale farming increased, and time working for cash greatly reduced. We will have as little as modern-day Cubans, and live very modest lives indeed! Asia will steam ahead, increasing its population to absorb any riches it may gain, and masses of Asians will live even below our technically supported spaciously accommodated life-styles in the less populated North America. Our minds will naturally become sharper as we pull away from 19th century industrialized lifestyles, and we will prosper in the Arts, Music and Literature once again, in a "Post-Materialist" meritocracy, a happy place to live, after the horrors of industrialized, capitalist driven America, and a re-birth to many crafts, trades arts and skills almost lost to the crass forces that nearly destroyed our spirits as men and women. We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes of industrialized America, and on its ruins we will build a new, high tech super-power, clean thinking due to our village existence, and free from cities stench and the capitalists exploitation we now suffer.
