I saw the immediate aftermath. Someone jumped off the 8th floor in an interior atrium after setting off the building fire alarm. I happened to look that way while evacuating and it took a moment to process what I was seeing.
Interest rates rose above 0% for the first time in a decade and suddenly profit became more important than growth.
Edit: actually I’m wrong and it’s more complicated than that, but in essence the era of free money came to an end. Interest rates were increasing before 2020 in very gradual increments, but then went to zero, also accompanied by a lot of money being injected into the system.

The only theft going on is the ongoing theft from the public domain, due to corruption of copyright law by special interests enabled by law for hire. Your analogy is irrelevant as the marginal cost of operating a park for an extra visitor is not zero.

I’ve already seen reimplementation of 2 digit dates here and there.
Because of months of preparation. I know, I was doing it.
Yeah that’s a different shitshow but agreed it is likely to be worse - like y2k the effects are smeared out before and after the date.
Yeah who knows if our computers are sticks by either date
2100 not a leap year (divisible by 100). 2400 is a leap year (divisible by 400). Developing for dates is a minefield.
2100 and 2400 will be a shitshow
I would send “Stand on Zanzibar” which was published before I was born and still predicted much of the past few decades
I use the native wireguard client on Linux
Look after your back and neck. Floss. Drink more water. Find out if you have family inheritable disease risk and adjust accordingly.
But also, take advantage of some of your best years, and the freedom which comes with not being tied down.
