31. Can we compromise on moderately fucked?

For one thing, I can still see a few possible pathways out of the mess, though they're narrow and getting narrower.

For another, the United States is not the world, and though the American Empire may be primed to go down, there are signs of hope elsewhere.

For a third -- what was it they used to say -- "Nature bats last"? There are any number of things which could happen that we don't expect and over which we have no control but which would fundamentally alter the course of events.

So be of good cheer, because the future is not yet written.
