Everything you’ve been working on, producing, servicing, planning, monitoring, or building for the last decade (being conservative) was bankrolled by loans based on empty promises of future streams of income that will never materialize.
We don’t want to believe it, of course. Like Wile E. Coyote, we’re still running, even though we’ve long since departed terra firma.
A great analogy.
Now, it would be nice if, like Wile E. Coyote, once we hit the bottom we could just walk away as if what happened was only a minor inconvenience.
