But, previous 4Ts were not altogether different from our situation.
But, haven’t you stated a few times here that the crux of this 4T still lies ahead of us, most likely around mid-decade? That would mean that even the COVID disaster didn’t qualify. Might the so-called Great Resignation be the first wave?
The first waves have come for the last 13+ years; the Great Recession among them, and the Trump presidency, covid, climate change disasters mounting, the January 6th coup and mounting threats by Republicans to democracy, and now the threat of Russia and the war crimes in Ukraine.
The Great Resignation is part of current economic strains and changes, propelled by covid but part of the aftermath of 40 years of Reaganomics and mounting inequality, and that is part of our 4T as well.
Yes, the climax is due mid-decade through the final year of the decade. The threats of civil war and war abroad, and more climate disasters, will probably be the crux of the climax. Will we rise to the occasion and make some major changes to our institutions and our economy and ecology? That's the big question.
