Larry - Always enjoy reading your stuff, good analysis with data to support it. More “vanity” posters should read and heed, IMO. Of course, few, if any, have your writing chops anyway...
Personal view is this is just the start of the proverbial Chinese “interesting times” and the posturing and spinning by all will become the aerobic exercise of our times.
True, but just because things are interesting doesn’t mean they don’t have a direction. Our job is to figure out what that direction is.
