I don’t think that has happened yet. The bus was going 80 down the highway but the wheels fell off. Its still going 65 and there was a loud thump but besides that everything is still operating as it was before. There hasn’t been a sudden shift in priority people are still surfing on i phones and buying shit on amazon. The guy sitting next to the window might be staring at disbelief as the tires roll past but for the most part things are the same as they were before the wheels fell off. That will soon change but it hasn’t happened yet.

Events have been put into motion that cannot be undone. Future pain is guaranteed but our minds have a tough time comprehending the massive changes that are upon us. 10%? GDP is like 4 years of growth and that’s just the beginning, many of the layoffs that are coming haven’t occurred yet, government stimulus haven’t been cutoff.

Honestly I have no idea what’s gonna happen next the rules are gonna change so fast that you won’t even have time to say WTF.
