But, we won't touch it in any way, because our rich overlords don't want us to.

So, all of this is cute, but will amount to nothing, as we won't change what created and is maintaining this regime in the first place.

So, to put it simply, we won't 'recover' from anything. We will just patch it up so that it will keep the current socioeconomic model going until this crap happens again.

And , it will. Soon. Because we never, ever, ever learn.

Ever.

Our history has shown that this is the case... over and over again.

I wonder if Dr. Brooks will cover that part of it?
