    History repeating itself like a carbon copy.

    It’s not supposed to happen this fast. There are supposed to be centuries and several generations in between until humanity forgets the atrocities and repeats their mistakes. It’s like, as soon as eyewitness’ are getting scarce the world acts like it never happened.

            Rubicon is the river Ceaser crossed as the no return point before taking over Rome. COVID was not that point for America.

              Source? Loss of faith in institutions. An election of incompetent candidates. People literally sacrificing themselves for political ideology. Toilet Paper hoarding shows the greed inherent in the system. Price gouging. Supply chains revealed the fragility of the capitalist economy. Inflation begins and indicates the new normal. The dissipation of pollution during COVID added solar radiation to latent heat increasing climate warming. 2020 was the Rubicon. Climate change will increasingly exacerbate the global economy leading to a destabilization of governments and civil unrest and wars. Am I missing something; was it when the Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup?
