I'm not sure it's targeted at anyone "important" (what a classist term!). It is just analyzing the situation and predicting what happens next, for you and I to be prepared. It also hastens the end of the bubble ever so slightly, which is good - the sooner this poison-laced bandaid is ripped off the world's economy, the faster we can start to rebuild something more meaningful, but now with new productivity tools by our side.
