Bennigan’s (a “casual dining” restaurant) is filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy — the kind where you don’t restructure, you just give up and liquidate.
I’m attracted, in my sentimental way, to the vision of a world where “ugly America” gradually annihilates itself because of the Crisis. For instance: Strip malls. Grotesque restaurants. SUVs. McMansions. Starbucks. Las Vegas. Investment banks. It’s all happening already.
The forest takes back the heartland. The coasts prevail. Then the floods come. But by then, we’re already on Mars.
I’m glad the apocalypse will play out as predicted by David Byrne rather than by Cormac McCarthy.
