"Expect: failed national governments, maybe even state governments; failed supply lines; failed electric supply, failed trucking, failed big box stores, failed supermarkets, failed giant companies; failed banks, failed investments, failed money, failed news orgs, failed airlines, failed car dealers, failed hospitals, failed colleges, and much more. But don’t discount human ingenuity and resourcefulness, our ability to work-around and reinvent systems for daily life, even if it’s on a downscaled and more modest level.
"Expect rebuilt local economies from production to wholesale to retail. Expect smaller stores, fewer things to buy but much of it better quality. Expect a lot less long-distance travel but a lot more happening in your locality. Expect the rebirth of local culture — theaters, live music, news-sheets, dances — to replace all the canned entertainments we’re used to. Expect small private academies to rise to replace the shuttered central schools. Expect small, local clinics to appear from the ashes of the medical conglomerates. Expect Americans to return to churches as an organizing mechanism for community relations. Expect more formality and less slobbery in public. Expect all of us to feel a renewed sense of gratitude for being here instead of rage, resentment, and grievance, because it’s likely there will be far fewer of us around."

I found out about this band when I searched online for music "never released on CD." Among the results was a discussion thread from <a href="https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/1980s-albums-that-have-never-been-released-on-cd.793117/">Steve Hoffman Music Forums titled, "1980s Albums That Have *Never* Been Released on CD?"</a> <a href="https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/1980s-albums-that-have-never-been-released-on-cd.793117/#post-20142622">This post</a> mentioned Strip Tease Belette as a "Cult gothic type band, apparently only released on cassette."
<a href="https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/sim0n/album/232269-strip-tease-belette/">This post</a> at AlbumoftheYear.com describes Strip Tease Belette as "a very underground French coldwave band back in the latter half of the 80's" that was around for only two years. The band comprised Hubert Beringer, François Rieg aka Frantz, Nicolas Remi, Olivier Forsans, and Denis Urban.

This would be a good song to send out to other civilizations to let them know we're capable of truly beautiful stuff. Maybe the best one.
