So, what's really going on?

I axed that question earlier today.

The answer is that nobody knows.  Not even the highest of the highest muckety mucks know what the f8*k is going on.

There's no conspiracy because the people in the know ( supposedly ) could not possible want things to go badly.  What's in that for them?  They can't wish for an outcome that leaves them worse off than before.  The only response to that is that they don't think anything is wrong at all.  To them, it's all hunky dory.

The people who that don't believe things are hunky dory should be smart enough to be able to change things so that a better outcome can be possible.  But that isn't happening either.  They are either wrong, which could explain why they can't change things because if they were more competent, they would know what to do; or they are right, but haven't figured out what to do yet, or perhaps there's nothing that can be done because it is a hopeless case.  We haven't got anybody who can fix this because nobody is good enough to fix it or change it.  If they aren't good enough to fix it ( or change it ), then the chances are that they don't know what's going on either.

I think all the people who claim to be unhappy about the current events are full of crap.  The people who are happy are also full of crap, but at least have enough competence to get what they want.
