Its the stress of society and the media hyping it up.
Society irritates us into nervousness and neuroticism to make us more productive producers and more restless consumers.
Pay close attention in the supermarket. Everyone is in a hurry like we are seconds away from a disaster. People aren't normally like that. Our grandparents didnt live like that.
The economy will fall if we can't get any more productive and any more spendy, because its based on growth.
And we are reaching that limit. Thats the big crisis, not California breaking off and sliding into the ocean in 2012.
