It's crazy how fast it's sped up. "Back in our day" culture was on a rough 20-year cycle; skinny pants for 10 years, then wide pants for 10 years. Rinse repeat.
Now it's a blur.
But my favorite smoking gun right now (more like crystal ball really) will be NYC. Will they get Norway, or Venezuela?
We don't have to guess! We can just watch:
Crime rates
Homelessness rates
GCP to spend
Inflation
Unemployment/labor force participation rate
Tax rates on the middle class after the bIlLiOnAiReS leave (Time and NYT are full of shit, they will leave)

The election of Mandami was proof that the billionaire class has written off NYC long term. Indeed they are leaving.
