<\/center>Had a little email exchange with Dave Collum this week. We go way back, more than two weeks even. It\u2019s been a while though, Twitter cut me off from Dave\u2019s tweets ages ago for some reason, and that\u2019s just one person I know they did that with; how many others, no clue. My Twitter followers, @AutomaticEarth, have been just below the same certain number for years.<\/p>\n

Regularly a few hundred are shaved off, and then they slowly revert back to just below that number. I don\u2019t even care anymore. No more than I care about Facebook shutting down our account without any explanation. Let them be. We should not depend on these people, that\u2019s just a bad idea.<\/p>\n

Anyway, so Dave was reacting to a mail I sent him of the October 26 Debt Rattle -he\u2019s always remained on one of my mailing lists- and that\u2019s how we started talking again. Dave:<\/p>\n

I have never spent a year so completely baffled by the world as this year. Nothing makes sense to me without invoking some seriously bizarre thinking (which I am not averse to doing.)<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My reaction:<\/p>\n

The game hasn\u2019t even started yet. We\u2019re still just warming up. Still, baseball is not the right analogy, that\u2019s a civilized sport, this will feel much more like gladiators in the Forum fighting to the death. Biden has neither the energy not the -killer- instinct for that.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, Dave, like Jim Kunstler, and like me, and many other people, have changed our views and positions on American politics quite a bit over the past 4-5 years. Mostly independently of each other. We just recognize the same patterns. I think it\u2019s fair to say that we all realize that there may be a million things wrong with Donald Trump, but there\u2019s a lot more wrong with collusion to unseat a fairly elected president.<\/p>\n
