Yes, it is indeed disturbing in many ways, but I'm not sure what it means for individuals. The GDP of the whole country really has very little to do with my personal productivity or consumption, and I have no debt at all...

Even in the worst wars, floods, epidemics, earthquakes, famines, etc... the majority of the people survive and go on to rebuild their lives, usually in spite of the government and all their folly.

I don't discount the problems. I also don't dwell on them. I'm spending time, effort and resources preparing the best I can to survive whatever of those things happen, if they happen, and live to the best of my ability with peace and joy in the meantime.

Maybe we worry about it too much sometimes? :)
