On the brink of disaster, the Jordanian social system

The gears of change has been set in motion long ago with privatization, immature globalization, cancelling of subsidization on just about everything and the tax hikes. Giving birth to a society that is about to fail under the massive pressures forcing it to change

Throughout history, most social changes were slow, taking many years. Whenever there was a sudden violent shake to the foundation of society (as happens during revolutions) the effect take decades, and even centuries to even out. What's happening to the Jordanian society is more like a revolution at many scales targeting every aspect of life for every Jordanian.

As an external observer, I was able to detect the fluctuation in prices in Jordan, I was finally saying, this place is expensive. If someone like me says it's expensive what are the regular people having to deal with all these hikes say? It's completely intolerable

These dramatic changes at the full breadth of the whole society, effecting everyone from the bottom all the way the top, but not including that final 0.5% that i making all the profits at the expense of just about everyone else. These changes are using in a new era, an era of instability, even with the huge might of the Jordanian police, secret service, and the army. This is going to be an era of more organised crime, more revolutions and a huge spike in crime levels.

When parents struggle to provide the basic necessities for their kids, driven by unjust conditions and poverty. They will start considering the easier alternatives readily available for them. From bribery, to embezzlement to fully fledged armed robberies. Coming to a neighborhood near you in Amman. The future outlook appears to be very grim.

I don't want anyone to come preaching the suffering lower classes of the society on how they're using too much of their resources making cellphone calls or smoking too much. These people are venting out by slowly poisoning themselves with smoke out of frustration.  No one needs to neglect or downplay the whole society just for the actions of the few. Maybe the top 0.5% are responsible for all these cell phone charges? While the rest of the society is sharing the blame for the upper half's waste!

I project that these social issues are going to cost the whole Jordanian economy way more than all the subsidization, and even worse, they threaten to spark a major unrest as people suffering the most under the weight of poverty rebel and take to the streets. Riots, looting and possibly armed conflicts might be the tip of the icebergs in a situation that is just ready to blow.

All this leads to foreign investments getting withdrawn and the whole system gets toppled on top of everyone leading to anarchy and complete chaos.

But, that's the worst case scenario. There is still time to turn this whole situation around, or reduce it's impact to the average Jordanian. Before even the most educated join in organized crime leading to some very tough times ahead

Woe the nation that pushed it's intellects astray.
