In June 2008 I Pointedly referred to the 'Hindenburg Omen'

And that means within a year, 2 at the most, most of you reading this, will no longer be working and you will never again see the prospects for doing the sort of work you're doing now again in your lifetime. Some might be pretty happy about this.
