Things to add:

  • war on Cash
  • impending CBDCs
  • government banning of decentralized currency
  • possibility of UBI
  • high profit medical care
  • uninsureable assets in places that are fastly becoming at risk.
  • retirement/death of the baby boomers and surplus of assets that no one will be able to afford
  • all rain water on earth is contaminated by dangerous chemicals
  • many consumer products are made with plastic/acrylic that leaks EAs
  • sprinkle in some non human aircraft recoveries as a seasoning
