In an earlier post, Fomenting of U.S. Civil Unrest, I responded to my colleague Gary Tulie’s concern that U.S. politics is so horribly partisan that civil war could break out at any time, especially given the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar Trump from running in 2024 based on his having participated in an insurrection.
I responded that U.S. politics, to an ever increasing degree, is driven by money–huge amounts of it–that are coming in from every angle, and that, without this disharmony, the torrent of contributions would slow to a trickle.  Sorry to sound cynical, but that’s an unappealing idea to most of our media.
Another point to be made here is that almost half the country, i.e., those supporting Trump, are having a great time talking about guns, civil war, the “Biden crime family,” building the wall, white supremacy, “taking America back from the radical left,” and so on.
While people like Gary, i.e., intelligent, sophisticated, and gentle people, abhor violence and hope to see dialog that leads to a national unity, there are tens of millions of American voters who would rather be diagnosed with cancer than they would accept some sort of “woke” middle ground. They’re having the times of their lives.
Another point to be made here is that these people are led my a man who openly commands them to violence.  Trump sent thousands of his thugs to the Capital on January 6, then watched them storm in, in a bloody attempt to stop the certification of a vote that he knew to be free and fair.
These people, and God knows their leader, have the slightest appetite for hand-shaking, consensus, nor any other form of civility. Again, they’ve been looking forward to this all their lives.  

Many Americans Embrace Civil Unrest

At this point in the decay of the American democracy, anyone overtly and publicly critical of Trump who believes he’s not on a government watch list is an idiot.

Do Oil Wells Dropped by Big Oil Represent an Investment Opportunity?

Two comments:

1) If you want to a part of the environmental collapse that is coming from our civilization’s continued reliance of fossil fuels, you’re morally defective. In the parlance of the common man, you’re an asshole.

2) If you think there is profit available from investing in oil wells that the most sophisticated petroleum engineers turned done, you’re a total moron.

The Haves and the Have-Nots

I met a professional investor today whom I asked for his prognostication about the U.S. economy.  He replied that the only thing he’s sure of is the growing chasm between the rich and poor, a point to which we agreed.

We’re living through the dying days of free-market capitalism.  Rich people have cracked the code to increasing their wealth without limit at the expense of everyone else on Earth.  They own our congress, as evidenced by the congressional Republicans, who kowtow to Donald Trump and their billionaire donors.

In the United States, morality has increasingly ebbed away to the point that trying to live a life of honesty and decency has become a joke.

One may think that the working class would be getting tired of being ground into the pavement by corporate greed, but no, they regard people like us as woke, socialist losers, so any attempt to turn this around appears to be going lightly nowhere.

As shown above, Bernie Sanders hasn’t lost hope.
