    $10/gal gas is going to cause price spikes in literally everything at a time when income inequality has never been higher, and while job precarity is through the roof due to the push for labor automation through LLMs doing things worse. I’m not even going to get into the eco-anxiety of living in our present era. Shit, even the hogs will be mad because all their treats are made overseas and Trump can’t stop creating new tariffs.

    I fear this is the summer of adventurism as a hundred million alienated and disorganized people start taking potshots at the perceived source of their deprivation and depression.
