Yep, this is the big one. They've squeezed the world dry and the Fat Lady is singing the final number. Let me coin the phrase now. "The Greater Depression."

Another truth respecting the vigilance with which a free people should guard their liberty, that deserves to be carefully observed, is this--that a real tyranny may prevail in a state, while the forms of a free constitution remain.

No, I'm calling it The Great Decline. "Depression" holds out hope that it is just a temporary dip, followed by a recovery. This time, we level off permanently lower.

Permanently? Remember, forever is a very long time indeed.

Depends - is this 'experiment' controlling for population levels? I'm betting with a greatly reduced population - the way the survivors live could be quite well.

You would be more honest to call it "The End." We will not level off. We will go down, down, down, down, Rock Lobster! :)
