Correct, Keith.   The problem is short-term thinking by politicians
and corporate leaders.

When the crisis hits, they hope that either,
1)  they will be dead so it's the next generations' problem.
2) they will be spending their last years in gated compounds with the
other super-rich and their servants, so it is still the next
generations' problem.

I'm all right Jack (for now) taken to the extreme.
