Black Plague 2040


Traffic on Sukhumvit, rising food prices, gas nearing 40 baht a liter. economy out of control or a simple result of global over-population. I favor the latter, since I can recall parking anywhere i wanted in the 1970s.

Old timers in Pattaya tell on parking on Beach Road.

No motorcycle rental mafia.

Some scientists predict things will get worse. 9 billion people by the year 2050. 9 billion and all of them wanting to go to 7/11. Sorry, but they won't be there. Nothing will be, because the world can't provide for 9 billion people.

So will the black death take away those unwanted billions.

Only the weak, but what if everyone was weak.

Say the entire world food chain collapsed. People starved. No more slurpies. No more sum tam. Then the black plague might have some luck. Not that this massive culling will effect gas prices or traffic.

Only means they'll be place to park again on the Beach road and fewer plastic bags on the beach.

Check out the movie CHILDREN OF MAN

No more babies in the future.

None at all.

Chilling.
