Its good that you recognize the problem. Welcome to the other side. That just makes you more intelligent and ready for the next event. If you know what is moral and just, and if you have the capabilities to see the future thanks to your experience... you now know how to handle these events in the future. For now, support the rise of interest rates and ignore the cries of the SV elite to have the Fed cut rates back down. We all know that crappy projects make less sense when money costs 5.25% / year rather than the 0%/year it cost throughout the 2010s decade. Beyond that? Hard to say. Depends where things go.
