I agree with your assessment, Greger. There are dark, dark clouds on the horizon.

Trump has demonstrated already that he is not up to the task he has set himself. His circle is full of neophytes, and the only adults in the room have been jettisoned. The administration will quickly be subsumed by lobbyists and cranks, as serious-minded experts are either shunned, or shunning. I don't think that Pence is up to the task of righting this ship.

Russia has already started adventurism - currently bombing the hell out of the rebels in Syria to prop up the Assad regime. China will be next off the block. Foreign affairs will quickly spin out of control, particularly if Giuliani is tapped. He's just unqualified, period.

I am not looking forward to the economic shocks that are inevitable.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
