Well, true - if enough people realise that money is only imaginary anyway...

Instinctively, it feels like the world is so much more connected and efficient nowadays that it should be able to bounce back much more quickly from a short-term economic hit than it did in the 1930s, for all there undoubtedly will be a massive short-term hit. Though obviously if we reach a point when the actual structures of capitalism are being realistically questioned then all bets are off.

Maybe that's exactly what the anti-gun activists need to be doing, the Stoneman Douglas kids and the Sandy Hook parents and all. Fill up the media just outright telling these people their dead relatives are fake. See if the penny drops.

@trooper Fine running conditions in the big smoke today, low clouds and drizzle keeping the less hardy park-goers away. Distancing protocol being observed by all but the occasional dawdling family filling the width of the path as if it belonged to them.

Bit of both, I'd imagine.

You get a mackemraider2 facepalm for that one.

You'll be glad to hear that I and most of the population of central Lewisham gave you the clap (It's Labour as fuck around here so I suppose I don't find it as inherently hypocritical as it would be elsewhere )

There's a trio of militant vegans in the Berlin office we call The Borg.

Apparently yes, so now I'm both reassured and a little worried. But cheers for that, and the other stuff is fairly low-dose too, nothing that should be an actual problem for now. Just one more thing to get anxious about really.
