I’m sure it will be much much stupider.
I don’t know how it could get stupider than that, but I know you’re right
the AI bubble has popped
So, there’s one positive thing, at least.
You left out there part where everyone has been enslaved by Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg to collect and deliver water to each of their strategic reserves. All “payment” for labor is made via rations of raw water.
I keep thinking that the next Katrina or Andrew or Helene scale hurricane is going to just make whatever part of the US it hits uninhabitable. Its going to be bad enough that nobody rebuilds in that area, and we have our first refugees.
Something slightly off-topic that happened at work last week, an air conditoning unit stopped working. It was easily fixed but it broke down exactly like what was mentioned in Neal Stephenson’s book “Termination Shock”. Ants crawled into the contactor and kept it from closing all the way. We could really end up with Relay Refugees.

Literally what happened back during the original Katrina. A bunch of people from Louisiana picked up and moved to Houston permanently. Houston’s 2 million population grew by about 10 percent virtually overnight, straining all key city services such as schools, hospitals, emergency services and, particularly, public safety. This made a number of Houston Republicans extremely upset (Barbara Bush chief among them)
It has happened before. It will happen again.
Same thing but what Im talking about will be a larger scale. There are people still living in Loiusiana and New Orleans, although there are probably smaller towns that are empty.
There is currently a tropical storm out in the Atlantic Ocean that has been named Dolly how ironic would it be if it makes landfall in Florida and totally wipes it out.
They’ll call it Dolly’s Revenge

It doesn’t even have to be THAT bad. People living in floodplanes are largely uninsurable in more and more of the US, and because it’s the US, there is no state-level fallback like more sensible places have. There is no real emergency aid anymore, since the conservatives have basically destroyed FEMA. There are no protective works anymore, because conservatives are stripping flood mitigation and resilient communities are now Woke and thus bad.
The US has never been less ready to deal with another big disaster, and the likelyhood of one is only increasing.
As someone who had to leave at 4 am when the water kept getting deeper in 2019, I agree.
Cant wait to hear the chief ramble about how america has the best refugees
Best refugees, like you’ve never seen before, with their shiny cars and heads down in their phones
Oh, and don’t forget. It didn’t snow anywhere this year, and the coastal cities are beginning to flood. Not that it’s something you have to worry about since you live inland, but it would sure be nice if it wasn’t 127°F outside or if it’d just rain a little for the first time since maybe February.
Nothing new under the America
MAGA will somehow blame Barack HUSSEIN Obama for all of this.
How much for just the diarrhea
Why don’t people file a vote of no confidence against Trump and call early elections?
Because Americans are really that stupid and terrible. This is his second term.
theres no mechanism for this in the US. basically, we’re stuck with him until he either dies or completes his term.
And Donald Trump’s approval rating will hit a brutal new low of just 75%.
I remember the dim distant past where I read this as a screenshot of a post without the drawing. Also fields. All this.
