From Zero Hedge:

Where Did All The People Go?

Basically, there’s a whole lot of things going on that suggest a shortage of people.  Job vacancies and difficulty filling them; supply chain disruptions… it’s as if a whole lot of people have left the game of life.

It’s all anecdotal, but it fits with things I’ve noticed myself here in Toronto, Canada: groceries going up and staying up; reports of difficulty find workers for restaurants and the hospitality industry in general (aren’t there thousands of out of work people there?);  someone I know started looking around for another job, they posted their resume online and their phone started ringing so much they unplugged it.  If it’s in my world, I know it’s real.

I’ve heard a few people say that funeral homes are real busy right now.  I read a story in a horror comic when I was little that envisioned a time when”Death” went on a holiday.  It’s an old folk tale plot.  Now we’ve got new folk tales, “Death” works overtime.

It’s creepy, but only because I think this Zerohedge story is true.  This is how the new trends start these days.
