It has been my opinion since January that His Madnesty and the Oligarch actively want to drive the economy into depression.
If that is they want, they're doing all the right stuff. There is no thing which they are doing which doesn't work towards it.
Global, 1930s on steroids, Greatest Depression.

Reading an article about today's stock market dive in The Guardian, and they ask "how much pain" Tmurp can stand.
The answer is, he can stand infinite pain as long as it's other people who are hurting.

Personally I suspect that Musk has more power than His Madnesty and can't be fired.
I hope I'm wrong.

He's absolutely correct.
Global heating is a direct output of building the modern world.
It's the people who tell you we can keep the modern world without heating the planet who are wrong (at best.)

The collapse is ugly. It was always going to be. The old ways of governing in the US weren't doing any good, but they weren't this ugly.

I find it fascinating how many writers talk of "taking generations" for the US to recover our lost world leadership and respect.
I hate to break this to you, but the destruction of the former US "government for the people" system does not cause ecosystem collapse to stop nor drastically slow.

In seven years of writing of steps to ameliorate the damage our culture does to the global ecosystem, I rarely ever had my words spread by my supposed allies.
Trump, Musk, et al, get their words spread by those same "my supposed allies" many times every day.
I see what "we" prefer to hear.

FEMA was created by Congress at the behest of Jimmy Carter.
Their first formal outing was to serve the people of Alabama after a hurricane.
That same year, Ronald Reagan said, "Government isn't the solution, government is the problem," and FEMA's first ever clients voted for him.

The following is my opinion.
I believe it to be fact as well, but there are far too many variables and I've been wrong before.
I believe that all functioning parts of representative government, what we used to call democracy, are already out of service. There is no structure save dictates, EOs.
