In a bizzare twist of events, fuel prices plummet to $2 a barrell, and oil companies have to practically pay you to take the stuff. The resulting domino effect drops the bottom out on prices for all other commodiites, and the economic earning power of the average worker skyrockets. With the new increase in overall earning power, world economies stabilize, conflicts cease, a new era of religious tolerance, international cooperation and genuine compassion spreads across the earth. War-making resources are poured into universal healthcare, education, research, the arts. Swords are beat into plowshares. In short, the world becomes a utopian bliss. Then, the aliens attack.
I wish they knew what ADHD was when I was in school. Man, that would have made things so much ... hey look a fire truck!
