    We could use a new Black Death to lower real estate and rent prices.

      I am going to assume you don’t really understand what it would mean if there was a pandemic with a 10-50% case fatality rate in the modern global economy where it would be on every single continent on earth in a matter of days. I can assure you that housing prices would be the last fucking thing on your mind.

        It was a sardonic comment.

        Yes, obviously the end of the world as we know it would be /extremely/ bad.

            Yeah, but when the old world dies without a new one being born, we’ll all yearn for the days of ‘a bit shit’.

          Fair enough, and thank you for clarifying. I was really hoping that was the case.
