I called it in 2020 to my therapist. I linked the flu pan to the rise of fascism and theorized that major catastrophic events plus fear may lead to something similar now. Least glad I've ever been about being right on anything.
COVID oversaw the extreme price gouging while squeezing "non-essential" businesses into insolvency. Inflation is still high where it matters to most people. We're losing our quality of life to produce more billionaires and we've been convinced it's the immigrants and queers that are to blame.
I'm not convinced. It's the rich ruining our lives.
