He says “It’s” all over but the crying. And Now back to the regularly scheduled Economic Train Wreck.

What IF…BOTH the Leftard Virus Hysteria and the “Right” Wing Depopulation Hysteria are BOTH wrong and this is all about a Natural and long over due Healthy Creative Destruction .
This is the part that resonates with me personally. I ask myself these questions all the time now. I work in one of those BIG businesses. A Fortune 50 company. And I see how it’s increasingly dysfunctional. I see the disruptions on the horizon — bearing down like a freight train in the night.
You will have to be nimble and resourceful. The Covid lockdowns of the past two years have destroyed many small businesses, but think of that as the tide going out before the blowback of a tsunami that will sweep away the large businesses next. The WalMarts, the automobile industry, the airlines, trucking, Amazon.com, major league sports, the fast-food empires, the oil industry, the mega-banks — all these systems have gone into speed-wobble and most of them will crash hard.
It’s an issue of scale. The broken giants will have to be replaced by lower-scaled systems for producing stuff, moving it, and selling it. That includes food, especially, by the way. How are you going to be part of that where you live? What role can you imagine yourself in? What are you good at? What do you dream of being good at?
