One begins to fully appreciate why "May you live in interesting times" is a curse. I think the hope this time is that things will crash and burn so badly in the next couple of years that the whole thing is definitively resolved. Or that all the campaign promises are kept and we really do get lower egg prices.

They seem to be doing a good job of that themselves already 🙁

in reply to David Hough • •@David Hough the “hoping it crashes and burns” thing doesn’t work.
Exact same thing happened with Hitler. They don’t go quietly.
On a smaller scale, see Brexit. It was a clusterfuck but they ploughed ahead anyway and now the country is just coming apart at the seams.
