This DKoss report seems more of a litmus of the effects on folks with working brains..
[Is 'Our Thing' aka Cosa Nostra ON any more?] ..in numerous responses to: Deep subsurface rift in "Antarctica Pine Island Glacier ...center unexpectedly creates massive iceberg". Elide the few lapses into nasty-names for the Repo patsies and there's some evidence there of, IMO the creeping-in of ..Deep- resignation? to beliefs that this daily cacophony of The Phony is successfully disarming many? /too-many?? of the necessary Players in this deadly battle against.. let's Face It: the tribe dubbed by H.G. Wells: The Eloi
And, today, as the $$$Morlocks feed on the atrophied synapses of the mentally lazy--however you want to Bet on the next events --do we not have to elevate Mr. Wells [Pub 1895] to status of Prophet ..now?? Carrion Its stench increases every time the Morlock-in-Chief or any of his Army {say Anything at all.} Believe we call such events as grow just-like-Cancer: Exponential functions. No?

And in other news...
I was watching a report in England and the news person proclaimed, "Last year, 50% of all the electricity consumed in the UK was from nuclear and renewables." And they have high speed electric rail going almost everywhere. I am seriously depressed that I am an American.

But you've got a gas-guzzler! Vroom, vroom!
Takes you anywhere you want at a moment's notice. Freedom!
And, surely you do not want to piss off the Koch brothers. :)

If One is 'an American' and Not-depressed
then One is senescent unto mental incompetence and such other afflictions of the Zombies-behind the Lunatic-in-Chief.
Our model, The Eloi were surely the (first fictional) Despicables; now any Murican is suspect-as-Deranged. Thirty-nine Percent +/- still within the cohort of the Top-Despicable?
Then fall Cæsar, Brutus, all the Sky-pixies and Puritans

Half? The UK has one fifth the population of the USA; England has one sixth.
Are you just that incredibly sloppy, or actually that incredibly ignorant?
Or both?
