We had a good run
The way I see it is that we have a single, reasonable chance at returning to something resembling normalcy. Just as a mobster might force a boxer to "take a dive" during a boxing match, corrupt-o-crats may force an entire nation to take a dive, but with the intention that the nation bounce back after key real estate has been scooped up for pennies on the dollar.
If this is not the cause for what we're seeing in America, then we might as well start forming our own Mexico-style cartels.
