All I keep seeing for past decades is the central planners want the whole world to be happy, so keep rotating the situation back and forth. Chance a peace. But they don’t want us to be TOO happy, and throw us a bone. My turn your turn but their turn is always better than our turn. Net living lower standards since the 1973 gas lines and more imported crapola.
Until the Trump got in, or like minded people got him to get involved, and go against the status quo. We can’t live on bones or false prosperity. Looks like a battle going on, but we can’t trust how things LOOK, either.
