2008: the start of the US' Lost Decade
Know this word: Hikikomori. Read up on it. Read up on the "Lost Decade of Japan" and the "Lost Generation of Japan." Because the pattern there is about to repeat itself here. I will expand on this later. Meanwhile, this realization is what is keeping me up with a bad case of insomnia. Because it's terrible. In all senses of the word.
PS: Khruschev once said, wrt nuclear war, that "The living will envy the dead." Richie succumbed to multiple myeloma in March of 2008. The crisis that marked the final collapse of the American bubble economy happened in September, 2008. Dude, you picked the right time to check out if ever there was one.
