Isn't it great how all the western businesses killed remote work? It's going to be so exciting to die of the plague so that some oligarchs real estate assets didn't tank.
On the other side, if this happens it's ending the western economy. Plain and simple. Covid damn near did it. Bird flu will be so much worse.
Yeah I agree. This wouldn't just be a simple sequel to covid, it'd be something far more dangerous.
Imagine an economy already leveled by the AI bubble popping, then imagine one where people are literally too afraid to go to work because there's a 50/50 chance of them and their whole family getting sick and dying. It would be a modern Plague of Justinian.
