Bread sales would reach a maximum due to per capita consumption or what we refer to as market saturation. But let’s play pretend and say that would never happen. The next barrier would be resource depletion, such as wheat. Never going to happen?
For those who have read my book and those who read the King of Simple News, I have pointed out many times that should China alone consume at the per capita rate of the U.S., the remainder of the world would have what share of resources? Who said zero? That’s the correct answer.
In news today, the World Wide Food organization (WWF) reported, “If China were to follow the lead of the United States, where each person demands nearly 10 hectares (24.7 acres) of productive area, China would demand the available capacity of the entire planet.”
So there I was, driving down the street in my Hummer on the way to my beach house to pick up a few things before I headed to my private jet and Europe for a well deserved weekend getaway when my Bluetooth rang and my secretary informed me that my 16 year old son had just wrecked his new Porsche in his private school’s parking lot!
To make matters worse, my broker phoned minutes later to say that oil had spiked again due to those greedy Chinese expanding to motor scooters. What is this world coming to?
