Yes, that's the good news really I think. Following the last reformation was exactly that, an Age of Enlightenment that led to all sorts of wonderful things. The great greed of the 'establishments' has kept technology from progressing in so many ways that it's even hard to imagine where we might be if it had been supported in flourishing ~ to the benefit of everyone... instead of just the 'purple hat' and 'fancy suit' crowd.
Our flying cars are almost here LOL!
We are in for some rocky times for sure, especially with the regulators 'seeing red' but anyone out there who is 'down and out' and feeling the 'crunch'... HOLD TIGHT! Keep your head above water... and power up as much Hive as you can before the SPK snapshots.
It's the underground stuff that is going to survive and thrive during the crunch.
I'm certainly in a mood today ROFL!
