This Is How Systems Rot | Cabin Fever 9
Description
Cabin Fever is back and we’re all over the place in the best way. We start with a classic “Balloon Boy” throwback and how easy it is for nonsense to hijack the whole news cycle, then jump into real life updates like gardening, chickens, and trying to build actual self reliance skills.
From there it gets darker fast. Car theft tech, why everything feels more unstable, and a quick look at a wealth gap chart that honestly feels like a punch in the face. We talk about how the people in power don’t build for the long term anymore, why that mindset matters, and what it does to society.
We wrap with a story from DC that shows how broken incentives really are, using the Bayer Supreme Court fight as an example of how money and lobbying can reshape outcomes, even when the human cost is obvious.
