What's this?

It's going to be a disaster


One that's slow enough moving that people are still in denial about it.

I'm curious what the Trumpleton folks on this board think the solution will be. I've heard the blind faith that new jobs doing ... something ... will appear out of the ether, but I wonder what we do if/when that doesn't happen?

FWIW, my inability to see a good solution to this has probably been the single biggest thing moving me off from my long held idealistic Libertarian beliefs.
