     @feld Yeah, but in between it made the Great Depression substantially worse. Although I'm not sure what else is going to break through the heads of the American public other than a systemic collapse. I've never been an accelerationist, but I'm starting to believe we need a complete hard reset.

     Luckily I have no marketable skills anyway.
