    The cracks are beginning to show.

    The oil crunch at the same time as the AI bubble collapse is gonna really suck, guys. Stock up on dry beans and flour.

      Even better than flour would be wheat berries (or rye, or whatever). Flour tends to go rancid pretty quickly, whereas the berries can store longer. Milling it just before use may not be practical for everyone, but your bread will be unbelievably better.
