We are starting to see layoffs in housing related industries. This started with the mortgage market and is starting to spread. Redfish is now laying off a bunc.

As the industry gets weaker I expect to see blackrock accumulating alot more property.
Over the next few years the OCP Scenario will play out worldwide, then we see what happens afterward.

Ocp?
OCP is "OmniConsumer Products", the corporate villain on RoboCop. While it made the technology used for law enforcement-- not just the title character but also the bulkier ED-209 machines-- it also controlled Detroit to such a degree that Detroit depended on OCP for nearly everything.
The subplot for RoboCop was the rampant crime which provided the need for RoboCop in the first place. A good chunk of Detroit was going to be rebuilt as "Delta City," but OCP wasn't in possession of the territory. So crime was used as a way to gain control of this territory. Once this area was vacated, OCP could acquire the territory at dirt-cheap prices. After that, then construction of Delta City could begin. OCP controlled both sides of the situation: criminal and law enforcement. One of the criminals gives away the game when RoboCop records him saying that "OCP runs the cops!"
Each time I had seen RoboCop in the past, this subplot seemed outrageous. After 2020, I kept remembering this subplot from the movie. Now the subplot is well within the realm of possibility.
Paul Verhoeven really had a knack for prophetic visions in his science fiction films. Starship Troopers predicted a lot of post-9/11 developments.

80s kid here. I know all about robocop. I just didn't make the connection at first. But yeah, it's called predictive programming.
Another one! Damn glad to meet you! Even though the connection between what OCP was trying to accomplish and what was taking place was obvious in the movie, it didn't hit me until 2020 and 2021 that this is what was taking place in real life but without the benefit of a cyborg like Alex Murphy.
RoboCop 2 shows what happens when the political correct orthodoxy of the day is programmed into a cyborg like Alex Murphy, and the results are exactly what we would expect them to be. This I knew even back then. The obviousness of the sequel makes the foreshadowing of the original movie-- by decades-- even more disturbing to me today.
Right on, glad to meet you too dude!
Seaquest 2032 is the first show that actually opened my eyes to the corporate hellscape they are turning the planet into. Later when I rewatched Robocop I saw it there too. This is what got me interested in the clues our overlords leave for us in media.

Yep, a good indicator where the economy is going, sadly.
