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.
