There is a lot going on for those who can read the signs. These are not "normal" times. Many slumber in comfortable apathy but even the Head-in-the-Sanders are going to be forced to wake up soon. Some people love denial. The Master of the Universe wont be denied.

I'm not saying not, but how do you derive that bit of information, please?
