      first pass at least, im worried about this it would be oversimplifying but one could maybe tell a story of how everything that has happened in the last ten years is downstream of a breach in an implicit social contract that went down in 2008https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1422384419122208769 …

      The social contract in question being the vaguely jeffersonian homeownership structure? The concept (esp the wealth appreciation aspect) has some similarities to a pyramid scheme, but its ties to generational divides/labor-capital split matters too:https://phenomenalworld.org/analysis/deflation-inflation …

      yes the story of the past year is the economists learned things in the past few decades and acquitted themselves ~perfectly, and then biomedical engineers exceeded all reasonable expectations, and then the public health people just shat all over themselves.
