Nothing.

If there is one I am coming to believe over the course of the pandemic and recent political events, it’s that our institutions are not as robust or incorrigible as I thought. They appear to be remarkably easy to render ineffective or to utilize against the general populace.

I am of the belief it is because of the direction of destruction rather than creation, that is causing this. Let’s use a real world example: it takes Toyota 17-18 hours to construct a car. Takes a few seconds to total that same vehicle in an accident.

What about credit ratings? How long does it take to achieve an 800? And then what happens with a single missed payment?

The world isn’t setup to sustain.

These are good analogies. I recall people, myself included making this same analogy regarding GW Bush’s collapse of the financial

Markets. The example given was, take 5 minutes and make the biggest mess of your kitchen. Now, clean it up. How long does it take to clean? Fixing problems takes longer than creating them.

Now, that said there is an argument that would suggest that the problems aren’t of an immediate making. They’ve been coming for decades. Increased executive power administration after administration. We are just at an apex.

No matter, I am extremely discouraged. I will do anything I can to get this buffoon out of office. I am motivated.
