I’m guessing 10 more weeks before we see the first signs of economy reboot.

This is going to get really brutal. I’m not seeing any historical comparable for what we’re headed for. Not WW2, not the Great Depression, not the Spanish Flu. This is a totally sui generis cataclysm.

Another of the few people who understands what is happening. How and why do most people think so linearly? It’s hard for me to do so at this point. I guess I have just trained myself that linear thinking is almost never useful outside of a classroom toy problem, though it is far easier. And of course it’s what is taught in school so it’s all the “educated” can handle.

If there were ever one case where that sort of reasoning is utterly useless, it’s right now.

You think you’re ready for what’s coming. But you’re not ready.
