The same problem affects the entire planet, at least in "The West", Spain too, and all of Europe and UK, unfortunately. It's shortage of energy, not just oil or electricity, in essence it includes the energy in food. Profit is energy, just abstracted energy as is all money. Truth is that availabilty of energy to extract has gone down, since around the seventies when availabilty peaked. Now it's dropping ever more rapidly. There is no way to recover that without seriously switching to solar. Seriously switching means issuing money on it, for free to all people, because the energy is given for free by the sun.
I call this solar indexed stimulus.
We actually saw a trial of that during covid, the value in money went up when it was issued for free, the opposite of what happened in the Weimar.
Conventional economists don't seem to understand how that worked but it's obvious to multidisciplinary Engineers. The motor will stop, if the energy to it is removed, and it's being progressively removed by nature on one hand on behalf of the planet, whilst offering more and more solar energy in the other hand.
We just need to issue money on it to all people, unconditionally, to be richer than we've ever been before, not just the top few folk, but everybody.
They don't seem to want that, the money issuers. It looks like they do it deliberately, enforce scarcification, to keep us enslaved, but they don't know what they do, being also commodified education blinded slave a ants themselvs. it's an evil system, an emergent property fed by the energy of destruction.
