That was really frustrating to read. I don't imagine that if you could go back in time, he would believe anything you said. And I don't imagine he's going to start listening now.
Imagine that it's the year 2060, and you read in the paper, "Looks like climate change was real after all! Who knew!" Well I knew! And nobody would listen! But you're still trying to pass off this sudden revelation as wisdom.
Who knew that NFT's were actually a big scam by people hoping to make a quick buck off a few moon eyed suckers by selling a picture of a monkey for 10,000 dollars? I KNEW. And I still had to go to a corporate event where a whole bunch of speakers talked about how great NFT's were. It's excruciating to sit through that and not have any ability to change anything.
Anyways, this isn't a recession yet. That was just the frothiest top of the bubble blowing off. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I suspect the real troubles are yet to come.
It's especially funny that even after a crisis and a collapse, we don't seem able to kick the idiots out. They are just immune to failure. Even after screwing up in the most monumentally idiotic way in history in 2008, even after we found out the shocking extent that our entire economic and political system is fraudulent from top to bottom, the same fucking people are still in charge. Nobody learned anything.
I'm willing to bet that the author directed large sums of free money in foolish directions, I predict that he will not face any consequences for having done so, and I predict that regular people will be the ones to pay for it all, because they always do.
