so thats why the Malaysian plane was in the news. yeah nobody ever explained that to me and I was in high school/focused on teenage melodrama.

i understood half of that. partially because I was distracted.

I feel sick. I was a 12-13 years old during the era of gangnam style. I heard whispers of debt being passed down, my algorithm was a mix of steven crowder and vocaloid. Parents were always complaining about Obama. This book already spoke of suggestions like 'less democracy'. If these monsters had their way...I don't know what my life would have looked like today. Thanks Obama.

to even consider pausing democracy to cover up your mismanagement is irreprehensible. I respect the need to uphold the markets to avoid a crash. But, surprise surprise, everyone is more worried about their jobs than they are the starving masses. Europe, like America and just about everywhere else, is only concerned about how they look on the global stage and how much they can get away with. Disgusting.

chapter 17 done

"As the 34th Rule of Acquisition states "Peace is good for business"."
"That's the 35th Rule."
"You're right. What's the 34th?"
""War is good for business." It's easy to get them confused."

Leaders pushed their problems on the working lower classes, that their pride clouded judgement, and fingers are pointed everywhere. Who would have guessed.

It's frustrating after the fact, but even the experts at the time going 'what the actual fuck are you doing? Do something! Is reassuring. This is far from a lack of foresight.
