My wife is a member of this group of sheep and cattle in good standing! When times are good as well as stable they are the smarter class let them call all of the shots but given the current unprecedented level of disruption this can only end in one way! A Depression & World War 3 which this time around the Nationalistic Dictators (China/Russia) will very likely win!
The challenge for the democracies is that 80% of their voters are just like my wife, tactical doers who are focused on having a nicer process as opposed to getting a better result! As the leader of the democracies what end result is America looking for? Is it to bankrupt our grand kids or to lose world war three instead? What do we need to do to avoid both outcomes? ANYBODY????
And that is all I’m going to say about that!

My wife is a very nice person who would rather concede than confront and while that may work 9 times out of 10 there are 1 in 10 times like WW 2 where the outcome is God awful! The democracies are once again facing one of those times and if nice people prevail again we WILL be finishing last!
