  • Things will get progressively worse for more Americans soon enough. Those who are hip to the scene already probably can’t accelerate the process of awakening that will come. We are all Cassandra here. It hella sucks.

    Economic doldrums if not depression, pandemics and a fragmented response in the coming autumn if not sooner.

    Accelerating assaults on due process.
