The next obvious thing that will start to happen is higher crime. Lots of unemployed, lots of time on hands, and no future.

- cryoshon 12y agoI agree with your take on things generally speaking, but I don't think it's necessarily correlated with the crime rate. It's hard to color outside the lines when your brain is being flooded with chemical compliance, but think about the people who are going to be on psychoactive prescriptions in the first place: people who can afford very expensive and time consuming behavioral healthcare. The subset of people who can afford behavioral healthcare are probably much better off than the people who would resort to crime in an economic downturn.
