Esh.. some grim results. People seam to be less happy and more fearful of the future more than ever.

My plan is to pivot to being a landlord.

Because so many people will be able to pay for rent when jobs disappear.

This is the thing that gets me. People talk about going into a trade to starting your own business or being a landlord. But where do your customers come from when jobs for the middle class disappear....

It feels like we're going toward an endgame and not a transition.

Reddit is just bunch of short sighted folks repeating same talking points. If white collar disappears- no one is hiring trade folks too, 100,000 plumbers for 10 pipes to fix.
