On the road to a "Mad Max" world?

Yeah, sounds crazy to me too.

But a nuclear war isn't the only possible scenario to get us there.

At this very moment, we are in the midst of a pandemic. And our president and his party are the
the most ignorant, inept, dangerous, and just plain stupid beings imaginable. And it's all driven by their hatreds and their greed.

At this very moment, 50,000 people have died. How long before that becomes 500,000, a million, or tens of millions? How do you think that "Mad Max" world came about?

You don't need nuclear weapons to bring it about. All that's needed is a pandemic, and a mad imbecile in charge of "the most powerful nation in the world." And that's where we are.

So, how does anyone who survives avoid becoming an extra in a "Mad Max" film?

It really ain't that deep. We prevent a "Mad Max" world by not allowing it to come into being.

It's in our hands and what we do or don't do will shape the future.
