:angel-biblical: For this, our second recession of the 21st century -- The Second Dot Com Crash -- The Venture Capital Burst -- or -- That Thing We All Kinda Suspected Was Inevitable -- I predict:

• increased austerity

• an investment firm bailout, for our poor small-bean investors whom never expected crypto-securities-currencies to be misrepresented

• $TSLA is Too Big To Fail. What does that mean for an investment portfolio pretending to be an automobile manufacturer? No clue.

• Phoenix becomes very dry. Body count dry. Don't expect much coverage of this. It will be like the west coast wildfires of the last two years, another ecological disaster playing second fiddle to a dumber, more easily rectifiable disaster.

• prediction is a fools game, so here's the only one that counts: Nothing will fundamentally change in the imperial core, but living and working conditions will get worse.
