The like calm and rational voice inside me tries to tell me that that’s just the impact of the global economy and the Internet and everybody having a phone that we’ve seen over the last 10-20 years..

And that we still have huge parts of the world to build economies and so it could totally just keep going up and up and up… that is unless some global catastrophe burns it all down.

But then I think about how if we continue this trajectory the wage gap is just going to get bigger and bigger and bigger and that is part of the thing that is also threatening to collapse the house of cards were building.

Like it was just like five or six years ago that Silicon Valley was making it out that $1 billion was a big deal and now $100 billion is a big deal.

So the best case scenario that just gets bigger and bigger and bigger, but how could that possibly be best case scenario I just don’t understand. No idea how stuff is going to work but I’m not an economist… I’m a doomer.
