like even ignoring the worst-case scenarios we’re set for crises in the immediate future that will dwarf the “cost-of-living crisis” of 2022-23 and the pandemic. but basically the vast majority of people are just hoping that it’ll all be fine and we’ll go back to how things were in the 90s if we have some Good Government. it’s going to be interesting to see how the masses respond to this situation, which they have been repeatedly informed of for decades now, but which they still don’t understand.

    i remember reading an article in or around 2015 saying that 2015 would be the peak of humanity and it was all downhill from there. I don’t totally buy that assessment but at least for the next hundred or so years things aren’t looking so good.
