        I think they're hoping for banks to own all the houses and apartments and for Amazon to own all the small businesses at the end of this. They're consolidating power just like what happened after the 2008 recession.

          it's been really informative to recalibrate my own "collapse detector" to look for signs of consolidation and monoculture, as well as obvious failure/breakdown

        Economists also expect a V-shaped recovery, and I’m betting they’re hilariously wrong about that.

        I fully expect some people to benefit from the crisis, but this shit is off the rails in a way I don’t think most wealthy people have really grasped yet. It’s shaping up to be more like the Great Depression than the Great Recession.

        The Fed is furiously printing money to maintain asset prices in the face of a >10% GDP crash. I don’t see how this shit doesn’t completely collapse on itself in the long run.
