Now that default may actually happen I'm feeling more bemused than worried. If it does a bunch of people will certainly die, something that happens when many bunches of people go broke, so it's a terrible thing, one not at all to be desired. But part of me is getting very curious about how the different groups will look at one another, after. Obviously I know more or less how the people with sewn-shut eyes will be, and the ones already alert. But the rest, the sleepers! 2000, 2001, 2004, 2008 - who was at fault was clear enough to those looking, but they weren't caught red-handed by the drifting and distracted. But this - it will be impossible to not look this time. Will looking mean they'll see?

I think we may live to see it break, with the stipulation that nearly everything else will break first.
