We're all living in a Hollywood Action Movie...

and there's no James Bond, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis or others to help.
We just sit here waiting for the credits to roll.

Just maybe if we click our heels together, we can stay for the double feature... after the cartoon.

What we are living through is the fever dream of a malignant narcissist aided by his incompetent minions.

When I first watched that, I thought there was no way it could happen so fast. But it seems to be.

I found that series to be the most disturbing because it is so real and likely. I also thought In Time, Elysium and the Hunger Games movies all portrayed futures the billionaire fascists would love to see come about.

But it looks like Margaret Atwood got it right, unfortunately. And as you noticed, there's no one to stop it.

behind all this turmoil. So few with so much power and money is not right.
