I've been telling people something close to this lately. It's interesting to see their reactions. Back when I was screaming "recession", they laughed at me and told me to STFU. But when I tell the same people we're headed into a depression (unless something dramatic happens), they don't have the same reaction anymore. The reactions are anything from nervousness to abject terror. But they are past laughing at me and telling me to just shut up.

I'm really getting tired of telling people what I see happening. The vast majority can't do anything about it at this point anyway, and all it seems to do is frustrate them, and/or make them fearful.

Hmm, maybe more screaming would be dramatic enough...

I think I'm changing the subtitle line of my new novel to:

"The long emergency and the struggle for America, through the Greater Depression and Civil War Two."

This country won't come through another depression intact, as a free constitutional republic of 50 states.
