Profile
Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

The first part of the explanation - about the US losing international power - certainly sounds credible. We have not been minding the store. (Also known as 'deregulation')

Habakkuk is certainly the minor prophet I would cling to for insights into the end times. hmmm... maybe not.
