What an insane take. I would ask if I could bet against the author, but I'm sure they wouldn't take the bet since their winnings would be worthless in the hyperinflation of their apocalyptic dystopia.

I guess the only positive with such short timescales is that we'll know very soon if he's right. I can't believe his magnitude, but even if 'just' 1 billion people are affected that's huge...
What I did find amusing is where our political beliefs aligned, namely our high distrust of government competency and cynical views of its corruption. There was a time when all leftists were like this. I'd have an easier time finding common ground with them than I would with the contemporary authoritarian leftist who blindly trusts the FBI and corporate media.
