Yeah if we enter a Malthusian era of population constraint I'll take a wild swing and say that climate change disrupting weather patterns and loving up agriculture will be the cause more than runaway population growth

Climate refugees will be left to die by the thousands and even the millions when regions start becoming increasingly uninhabitable. "Woke" first worlders will respond with the rage react when they see the stories on Facebook and not much else. These things will happen without any mention of Malthus.

BrandorKP posted:Bunch of South Asian nations have subsidized shipyards. Shipyard economics are such that you want to keep them operating to make money. Steel is cheap and subsidized by some nations. Some vessel ownership became financialized after 2008 crash. Lines over bought. Economies of scale are forcing them to continue over buying. Bigger is cheaper both in ships and the companies. Two (one openly) of the big lines are trying to drive the smaller lines out of business. All the small lines are merging or failing. Expected growth in international trade has not materialized. Word! Thank you for the synopsis!

prisoner of waffles posted:If we're gonna talk about climate refugees, I'm gonna post this link and you can ruin a good mood by reading it I would say 99% of this is obvious and if you're not at least vaguely aware of the potential for climate change related mass murder at the border wall you must have lived under a rock for the last decade. The only point I disagree with is the part about necropolitics, because it implies the mass murder will be part of a planned policy designed with a minimum of forethought rather than the effect of incoherent scrambling by overwhelmed neoliberal politicians who settle on "start killing people" as the path of least resistance in totally shocking and unforeseen (read: actually predictable if your thinking extends beyond quarterly profits) circumstances that they can't micromanage their way out of.

I remember when I saw the trailer for World War Z, and there's that shot of the zombies piling up over each other to get over a wall. Before I knew what the movie was, I assumed that was a dramatization of what's going to happen to 90% of the people on Earth when the poo poo hits the fan.

Tariffs are going to hit world demand for container freight. If we get line failures because world demand for container freight falls off and capacity gets reduced ( instead of absorbed) this will cause freight rates to go up. Then everything gets more expensive. Right now the marine transportation leg is cheap as poo poo. If that changes all those global supply chains for everything manufactured become more expensive. The margins for retailers get smaller. The questions are degree, severity and timeframe. This is explicitly one of the intents of the tariffs btw as proposed by the Bannon /Miller crowd. Think of a factory. That factory basically has distance around it within which it's good are competitive because of transportation costs. Right now that distance is huge once you get poo poo onto a container ship. Its basically the whole world. This could change and possibly abruptly.
