The situation in the Middle East seems hopelessly messed up and the price of oil looks likely to remain very high.

The impact of the AI revolution is generating anxieties about human employment.

Government debt (both Federal and local) continues to be out of control.

Interest rates remain prohibitively high.

I DON'T GET IT.
