Our economic system has been running on fumes and debt for quite some time Francis, it was merely a matter of time and what would the perturbation be. Well, here it is, our "way of life" chickens come home to roost. The system is all about concentrated capital authoritarians who as we have seen over and over and over again prioritize their returns over human lives and society. And neither the "leadership" nor the people of this nation have a clue what to do other than double/triple down on the same old behaviors and patterns while awaiting a different outcome.
