Nothing much chills me to the bone anymore, but the connections you have drawn here did. I have strongly suspected the oligarchy desires a massive population reduction. That would solve a lot of problems for them. I made a case for this before AI rolled out, another nail in the coffin. I wonder how many good days we have left as every vestige of human decency and compassion circle the drain. My dreary take from two years ago, almost to the day. https://geoffreydeihl.substack.com/p/circumstantial-evidence

Milei took Argentina out of BRICs. This will lash Argentinians to the U.S. dollar while easing the glide path for the billionaires to loot the countries resources.

How can so many countries face an election offering candidates featuring different facets of evil? I think the short answer is entrenched corporate capitalism. Profit reigns. The fortunate few gain. We of the vast rest garner the pain.

For the multitudes deemed unproductive our markets dictate callous indifference. Death by disease, bullet or bomb delivered by human or drone, starvation or dehydration, or heat are just side effects that get a sigh and a hand wave.
