What a strange time to be alive.
Crazy world we live in
Can we go back to 2018?
Clearly everybody's memory is fucking shit because the same dictator was in charge in 2018.
It got a lot worse this time because he brought all his people in. The old administration started with misalignment and some competent people. The administrators were less willing to break laws. So that one was better.
A year ago, I used to still list living in America as among the things I'm grateful for. I don't do that anymore because then I think of the places I'd rather live.
I really hope this new craziness and volatility is temporary, but I wonder if it is. We could become the next Argentina if not.
