1. The growing disparity between the rich and the poor
will cause upheaval in this country. This is something that has happened throughout history. The one statistic that showed how CEOs salaries have gone from 30 to 1 (versus the worker) to 500 to 1 since 1950 is the one that makes me want to storm the Bastille.

2. Well, no
But then we knew that, and there's not any referee we can report it to.

On the upside: globalism is on the way out. The only thing that made it possible was abundant cheap fuel, a condition that has a very limited future.
