The world isn't going to hell yet, but a recession is coming for sure. 

IMHO.

Harbingers:

  • India's economy is slumping. A lot. 
  • Birds are disappearing. 
  • Political correctness is getting more nutty.
  • And nobody is showing up for Pac-12 football.
  • The Hong Kong protests may not do shit.
  • The Internet is breaking into four parts.
  • Distrust is a thing.
  • Narratives and counter-narratives all suck.
  • A $9.99 book (Network Propaganda: Manipulation, Disinformation, and Radicalization in American Politics) on Kindle is $71.23 in hardcover. 
  • Democracy in the UK is worse off than we thought.
  • Boeing is doomed. Or so it seems.
