Diary: Too Much Happening

[degringolade]

Living in The City

The gyre is widening.  Most folks that I know are working quite hard to either (a) ignore that fact, or (b) trying to assign the issue to a convenient scapegoat.  It is kinda sad.

Look, it ain't the end of the world.  The world has every intention of continuing, but the set of rules that got us to this cul-de-sac are dissipating (I think folks should read the full text of Premier Carney's speech at Davos).  The rules were always a mirage.  But here in the land o' the free, we will start looking at a reversion to mean in living standards and the measures of comfort and convenience.

Now, you can get pissy all you want, but when the world changes, it really doesn't give a damn about your butthurt.  Your opinion about how the world does or doesn't work means precisely zero to the world.
