America is dead. Only Murica remains.

Lots of crisis heartening at the same time, but in the past that usually means things are going to change even more. But as some say, it's easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.

They never say that one part. It's "The world as I understand it is going to end."

Now it's different systems, different people, different problems and nothing makes sense anymore. Their world ended.

Seems like they wanted the web and app version of outlook to work identically. Some things don't work on the web though, so they decided to cut features on the app until they were the same as web. It's just such a corporate move.

Step 4: the rich that bought the gold uses it to privatize all water and power to get it working again, now becomes even more rich.

The very classic four stage program.

spoilerSir Humphrey Appleby: Then we follow the four-stage strategy.

Bernard Woolley: What’s that?

Sir Richard Wharton: Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.

Sir Richard Wharton: In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now.

If you want to reward your high profile friends so they can cash out with tangible assets before the whole currency or economy crashes, this is how you would do things.

Answer "hi" back, my job here is done, and ignore until next task I'm working on is complete. You're on my schedule now buddy. Bonus points for answering out of their time zone's working hours to see if the next day they start with Hey again.

DOGE: then we'll cut even more to compensate
