*Get Rect on the phone.  We have an emergency.*

I've been putting a lot of deep thought into scenarios lately.  Looking *at* the future.  Want to see something?  In a subtle way, you've highlighted some outs.  Forcing a population to struggle in one space will open the door and make it easier to thrive in others more welcoming.  Seems like the obvious solution.  Sit and wait for something better or simply go somewhere better.  People need to be careful with that because the one closing the door and the one opening another door could be the same.  Then cutting off the rest of the stragglers is as simple as shutting off the power.  A lit room can be a dark cage as well.
