Slo-Mo 'Train Wreck'

Kurt Schlichter who blogs at Townhall has a small tendency to overstate, for "effect" you might say. So the following - his indictment of the status quo - is a tiny bit extreme but much truer than any normal (his term) person would like. He begins with Uvalde: 
The failure is not limited to being unable to stop murderers. It’s not even the only failure involving schools. The schools are churning out a generation of quasi-literates and have been turned into a Grindr for perverted weirdos to use for grooming their prey. We got a good view of the failure during another epic failure, the COVID response.

This is systemic.

Everything is failing.

Go try to get baby formula.

See if you can afford gas. Hell, roll up to a Mickey D’s drive-thru and try to roll away with lunch for four under $30.

The courts don’t work, the Congress doesn’t work, and our alleged president is a borderline clinical moron who is lying when he’s not merely stupid.

Our military is trying to cope with transexual troops, while China plans moon colonies.  And most large cities have DAs who don't believe in jailing criminals. 

It's a great time to be old. Institutional inertia will probably hold things together long enough for seniors to die before the national collapse happens. That's my view on good days; you don't want to know my pessimistic scenario.
