peak?
If I knew it was coming, this would be one way to sort of cushion the blow. Let everybody go home in sort of an orderly migration. 30 million jobs down the toilet, which means 30 million fewer cars on the road every day, get used to people buying less. The undulating sort of peak can then continue for a year or so while everybody gets the news, we're not going back to normal, etc.
Is this the way to destroy our consumption? It's not the end of the world to me, I got mine.
If we're going to decouple from China, maybe it would help if we stop buying their shit and start making our own.
Frankly, if our grocery shelves were full of fresh vegetables instead of dyed breakfast cereals I would be fine with that, it would be a step in the right direction.
Sure are a lot of people working in marketing right now. What would we need if all we were worried about was our needs? Would we need so many lawyers?
It's a little weird to have some time on my hands, looking over the edge of a financial apocalypse, thinking I'm probably going to be alright. Ten years ago would have been a huge disaster, but today I'll probably be fine. My kids will grow up in a world I probably won't understand.
