Hard times have come and gone in my country and they will continue to do so. Folks who believe we're in some kind of end game are either missing the point that life is what you make of it, or, like your beloved Speigel, are secretly hoping for it to be true.

That seems to be a trend with doom callers, they somehow always end up being wrong.
