History warns us, right now history is screaming a warning to all of us.

All of the ingredients are being put in place for an economic disaster. Giant tax cuts for the rich, massive deregulation, trade wars, corruption, incompetence, Horrible leadership.

All the ingredients are being put in place for a world war. Threats instead of diplomacy, Inaction instead of action, Isolationism, authoritarianism, fascism, trade wars, economic problems, incompetent leadership.

None of this is certain, but history is warning us. When you ignore the warnings of history you may perish.

3. All for the love of money and power

The greedy bastards are willing to take the world down with them. Sending love and good vibes to earth's inhabitants. I'm ready for spring...

4. Yep, the height of selfish irresponsibility.

If the trend continues, guillotines may be required. Sounds irresponsible to say that, but at some point, it's us or them. Will our political system ultimately spare us from this? There's reason both for optimism and pessimism today.
