Two months later he left his campsite and asked the boss if he could have his old job back but someone was already hired and nothing was available.

    Dave, sometimes you are a little too smug. I am retired now, but was working in the technology industry back in 2000. Regarding Y2K, my company worked all of the year 1999 to fix all of our Y2K bugs. And there were a lot of bugs in the software. I worked for a manufacturer of building automation equipment. Computer control of HVAC, lighting, door access. There were many issues in the software regarding scheduling and such where things were not handled when the clock rolled over at midnight on Y2K. Equipment would have shut down. So you can act all smug over the Y2K thing, but it was real. It could have been a big problem. But many thousands of people worked long hours to ensure it wasn't a problem and people like you could make jokes about it later.

    😅 The thing about foresight is you can change your actions to create a new future which is what usually happens. A reaction to the warnings solves the problem. As bad situations are forewarned about but usually don't come true. This doesn't mean, we should never react to these warnings. It means by reacting to this information we have changed the course of outcome to a more desirable situation, and have avoided the undesirable outcome. Avoiding the undesirable outcome should be the desired result. When the sign in the road tells us there is dangerous curve ahead we react by becoming more observant and reducing our speed making it easy to avoid the problem. But if we ignore the warning signs we fly off the edge of the cliff.

    Economics 101 states that everything is defined from a single standard which is production. Debt influences the standard, production, one way or another depending on buyer and seller confidence. I always like to compare debt like driving a car with broken teeth in the gear system. It does not consistently work right and sometimes shifting gears takes too long and rarely works perfectly. Basically debt is far too sensitive in some respects while too obstinate in other ways. It's all based on buyer/seller confidence and they are constantly changing back and forth and in between. Debt is a confusing mess.
