It is a pivotal time indeed. Here's the problem as I see it.
2 years ago we all emerged from a "global pandemic". 2 or 3 years ago, we needed to be doing everything we could to drag the economy back from the mass shutdowns. But we did not. Instead, we fck-a55ed around with racial chickensh1t and denying our cheap energy supply and infrastructure, thus driving the cost of everything up to damaging levels. These were the acts of id1ots. Pompous a55es. Chrystia Freeland and Pixie-Dust have been abject failures.
And that's really just the bottom line.
