Am I alone in believing that the world, both from a financial and foreign affairs perspective, has become way more complicated than the average person can digest? To make matters worse, I sense we do not have the smartest people in positions to protect us from harm.
We are living in dangerous times and despite all the writing on the wall, I’m not sure we’re smart enough to find someone to turn the ship around, assuming that person exists.
