Full-Frontal MAGA

Damn!  Nothing like FULL-THROATED Republican “political discourse.”  Especially from a guy who sounds seriously HOMICIDAL.

Of course, I wouldn’t go to war for BOEING either.  But that’s where my ALIGNMENT with THIS STORMTROOPER ends.

Global Debt by Country

Among the major debtors — as indicated in the first two rings of the graphic below as well as in part of the third — I see TWO MAIN GROUPS:

  • A) First-world countries that have lost productive MOJO but are trying to PRESERVE THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING; and
  • B) Developing countries on the way perhaps to becoming FAILED STATES.

Either way, WELCOME TO THE SLIPPERIEST OF SLOPES.

Global Risks Timeline

Interesting data here.  And it’s been provided by polled “GLOBAL LEADERS.”

Not to be missed in the graphic’s lower right hand corner is THIS:

“How do you feel about the outlook for the world?”

  • Optimistic — 3.7%
  • Positive — 12.1%
  • Concerned — 61.2%
  • Worried — 23.0%

RIGHT, this is neither Edwardian England nor 1950’s America.

Even the HEAVIES are admitting it.
