[MD] Best Wishes to All of My Old Friends

People do not like critical issues i suppose.Although i'm not a doomsday
prepper or  a stand up Nostradamus
that is handing out predictions or possible disasters i am convinced that
the climate is changing very rapidly,the water is
not in the possibility to replenish itself  anymore and there is no food on
the planet for all of us.
Some countries are gearing up for war,and some economy's are so debt
infested that in fact, a war would be the only way out,...
How far are we away from patterns like say the Weimar republique?
Printing money all the time bled out Europe, America,Russia,and only China
seems to have some cash left,to invest in Africa...
thoughts?.... roll out--

I was thinking about the idiots you mentioned , Anthony, as we also have a
bunch of them,the only thing they succeeded to arrange
are speed controls,traject controls,parking fines, you name it , some
cameras here rake in 300 000 Euro a month , one of them
takes it a week.....but all that money was not enough to buy some
protective material for the population.
Still , they like to take the stand,and lecture others,preferably on an
international platform like the European parliament, to inform them how
wrong they are.
Its a burlesque theather; with drunken clowns on stage.
