Monica,

While I'm pretty much in agreement, I don't feel quite the level of concern. My sense is that the big tech companies are walking out on the same weak branch, as the whole cancel culture movement.

They and our geriatic leadership, have the foresight of a gnat. All the strategy of a five year old playing checkers.

Their only concept of order is collecting this totem called money, without any clue what it is, other than the signal they must extract, to be in the game.

What happens by the end of February, as the impeachment fiasco shreds any sense of decorum, the firehoses of money have driven the stock market up another ten or twenty percent, the crazies on both sides lose any sense of reality, etc.

Like a bonfire, the hotter it gets, the further I stand back. It will burn itself out in a fairly short time, probably well before 22 and hopefully some sense of reality will begin to seep back in.

Just sit back and consider the basic physics. Is this a stable situation? Is the progressive movement really in charge, or are they just the latest sheepskin the wolves have adopted? How long before this becomes evident? Etc.

Look at it from a historical perspective, yet speeded up, by the need for constant news and updates. After literally impeaching a president in a week, can they glue the wheels back on the system?

It's been turned into a nation of men(and debt), not laws. Things are only going to spin faster.
