Everything I predict happens, but unpredictably faster than I think it will, even if I take acceleration into account 
It’s like inverse of Hofstadter’s law: “It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstadter's_law …

Need a long acceleration (“long-acc”? Am I talking like a trader yet?) trading strategy with less than $2000 retail buy-in (my speculation limit right now) Sadly most of my current predictions are zemblanitous.pic.twitter.com/Z1TAUOCwvf

Okay I’ll try to add a few actual predictions here and see how the fare: 1. Some form of state-level service labor draft, like the WPA during Great Depression. 22% is just too high for normal spring-back mechanisms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration …

2. Major underground economy boom based on breaking restrictions and controls. Think blockade running economies during sieges.

3. Wave of secondary non-Covid mortality due to mix of dangerously deferred “elective” healthcare and overwhelmed hospitals (first operationally, them financially)

4. Longer-term supply disruptions from a different source than just inventory imbalance across business/consumer: production disruptions at source (harvests etc... think South Dakota pork factory as early example), outbreaks in distribution labor hubs (already looming)
