It seems to me the only reason to not predict an economic downturn is the belief that the economy is unpredictable.<p>Almost a type of religious belief in the absolute stochasticity of all possible states of the economic system.<p>&quot;Maybe the gods will favor us and leave a few favorable draws in the urn. Only the gods can know&quot;

who would have though that investing in useless companies that generate 0 revenue was a dangerous business, unless you take a cut in-between of course yc ;)<p>when will people wake up?
