The outlook for the world seems less than rosy sometimes.
Acapulco gets hit with a surprise Cat 5 and people there feel like no one is noticing. China has designs on Taiwan and may be assessing whether or not we’re distracted enough by events at home and elsewhere to make its move. Israel is not listening to anyone and forges ahead with a ground assault in Gaza. We bomb several sites in Syria. We suffer through another mass shooting; our schools are failing, as neglected and distracted students and inept, overwhelmed administrators are driving many teachers to leave the profession. Some big companies who should know better boast about being carbon neutral by 2050, which is still twenty-seven years away. Drug abuse is still a scourge; Vladimir Putin is happy to keep flying under the radar and make life hell for the people of Ukraine; Taylor Swift is a lightweight musician and marketing wunderkind who’s getting way too much attention, and
climate change is real.
