I'd invite input on a related discussion here, as the topic is global but I'd suggest 808 and Chris may have some insight on the issue. . .I found the article uniquely interesting, but not a Punaweb kind of topic. I hope it's not inappropriate to bring it up.

Seriously, and to attempt to bring the conversation out of snark and ideology--back to local concerns how on earth are the schools, etc., going to function? Even if one were to predict a "recovery" of sorts, to my mind pure fantasy--revenues certainly not going to recover for the fiscal year. If we started to get back to 100 buck a barrel fuel as well all sorts of services will be threatened. That's hanging by a thread. Even if one envisions a different kind of political/economic future, a little forethought and planning is worth while to ease the transitional cataclysm. This is my biggest concern, and was so from the start. Sustainability is indeed key to all these issues, but that's a more complicated and thorny issue than many give credit to.
