The Happening IS happening

In my opinion, one of the most genius shows ever made. why i think it points to the global financial crisis?
-It all begins in New York (the financial capital of the world).
-The disappearance of bees. (bees being the element of wealth transfer and growth and their disappearance in fold-ups of banks, investment houses, etc).
-The Cause of the toxin that switches off the part of the brain that keeps us from harming ourselves, which leaves people killing themselves (any economical crisis being the most important suicide factor).
-Phenomenon of people standing still and walking backwards (people stop to think, put a stop to many things, and often take a step backwards in life).
-In the movie, the toxin hits first the highly populated big cities, then spreads to all connected populations. (Exactly the steps a crisis takes).
-The last victim to be hit was self-sufficient (stating that autarky can never be achieved)
And lastly, the people that didn't get infected (or the ones that survive and pull through) eventually go back to living as per normal...and then at some point, it starts again in some other place.
