Clock watching
gives over to thermometer
gazing. Covid likes 97.4
degrees and attack
on capillaries causes
oxygen distresses.
.
The wars are small.
Ukraine's tolls compare
low against 44 million
citizens. Covid dead low
for usa's 330 million.
.
The land is dryer,
or wetter. Temps to be
watched. These are strange
climates and we only seem
lost deep inside them.

Temp's Rising - Hey, it's springtime, why not?
The funny thing about today, and tomorrow - it always seems to be wetter or drier than yesterday : )
Interesting that sars-covi-2 likes temps below 'average' for humans. Conditions such as poor circulation - often a product of lack of exercise (see: lockdowns, hiding inside) - and higher body weight/certain eating habits (see: stress eating) tend to produce lower body temp. Interestingly enough, there's emerging evidence that greater exposure to sunlight (short of overexposure/burning) also helps regulate body temperature (see lockdowns and staying inside, again, as well as face covering outdoors).
War? Well, we all know the healthy solution there: don't escalate it.
Human's have always played an unhealthy game of ebb and flow, temp's rising and falling. But what happens when algorithms take control of the tide?
Algorithms Took Down Wall Road
A while back. Digitizing human projection patterns - another way to cheat. Phenomenon - so interconnected an empty truck is a fly in the entire system. Remove working humans, calamity. Recession = buyer fatigue. We are not out of this yet - Russia was and still is (gas, oil, coal, wheat) a major player/ manipulater. EU for Ukraine. Interesting gambit possibility.

Viruses adjust body to temp environs for max growth. As for Cli-Chge, end of ice age is taking root - Ocham's Razor - simple most likely truth (I think that is the posited Constant, right?) I hope to write in the park this summer. Sunnny Dayz.

Viruses do attempt to do
Viruses do attempt to do that. Which is a major reason why we often go into fever - our bodies attempt to create an untenable environment for reproduction. In the rare cases where I've gotten sick over the last two decades, I wrap myself up in blankets and sweat it out. Sleep like a wet log, but it seems to pass the issue more quickly.
As for the economy. I suspect we are seeing an intentional purge. Plenty of evidence for that. But, more so, to the reasons: In a future where there will be - as you highlighted - more automated work than all but the best dystopian pennings could imagine - where are dollars for human consumption going to come from, outside of those who create or own the machinery, companies, ect? Unless the rich are heavily taxed and paying for most people's existence. How long will they be willing to do that? Out of this current purge, only the strongest companies will survive (ie. for the most part, those that have controlling power already), and they will be prepared to sell less products at greater prices to less people. Extreme poverty, and then - presumably through various calamities, forced sterilization, and so on - far less of these impoverished humans.
We'll see how the remaining people do without their traditional servants. And how long before the ruling class turns on itself and collapse happens. If it's not already spinning out of control (doubtful that it is doing so yet, but who knows). I'm not worried. We have to power, together, to change this course. But until the average person shows such interest and understands direction, I accept that the ship must sail to the ends of the Earth and fall off. All I can do is build a little tiny Noah's Ark where I live, for pollinating creatures and flowering hearts.
It Seems
Somebody has been trying to crash the world economy since 2008 and failed to take it under. Bubble bubble - Elon says in 12 years it collapses, an oligarchial perspective - usa-ers have been known to revolt from time to time against systems that are against them.
.
Anti-trust time. If not a cash bleed up, economy ends here and out there. Taxing rich completes circle, taxes go to gvts, to citizens, and back to ubers. Start cure by getting financial corps and banks OFF wall Road investing. End dark money. No mid caste, no buffer between wealthed and hungry.
.
A caste shift is occurring - all those Phd's with student loans in SDS tee shirts may suggest too many smart poor were kicked out of the circle. The dynamic is not new - if brainers stop working - heeey. AI is vulnerable to C-4 programmers. Crash the grids and we all go down the drain.
