1. What interests me is that the tools that run this country appear not to care

that they are destroying it, disabling it, emasculating it, bankrupting it, etc. They believe in their own bullshit, or at least some of it. I mean it's clear they are deliberately lying to the public, but it's also perfectly clear that they are incompetent at protecting their own interests, they have no sense of long term interests, it's all about short-term advantage and expediency with them, keeping the old game alive, grabbing as much money as possible, hog in the trough gobble gobble gobble, not adapting to the new situation as it is emerging, not thinking beyond next month or next year.

Or you could think they are just sort of stupid. I don't know.
