How The F@#k Did We Get Here?!
Yes, I know, I know. It's not an imaginative nor an intelligent title, but it about sums up what is happening around the world.
You have Donald Trump as the Republican Nominee for the American Presidency, up against Democratic Nominee Hillary Clinton, and the scarier thing is that Trump might win. Not because the majority supports him, but maybe because fans of other democratic party candidates dislike Hillary enough to vote for Trump (WTF?!).
The UK just recently held a referendum where the people voted to leave the EU. This decision was so obviously fraught with economic and social repercussions that may never be repairable, yet it happened. Thanks to the ignorance of the populace and to the delight of the leave campaign supporters Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson. Of course, not long after the results of the referendum the value of the pound against the US dollar plummeted and threw various stock markets out of whack, across the globe.
There has been a growing frequency in the number of attacks by various religious extremist terror groups, claiming scores of innocent lives across the world. These attacks have become smarter in the sense that they are going for smaller but more frequent attacks making it difficult for the nations to catch them through intel. This form of terrorism has no head to strike down, which is what makes it so dangerous and difficult to deal with. While shutting down accessibility to weapons supplies seems like a good starting point for now, the weapons manufacturing lobby cannot afford to have moral principles to WHO buys their products, thus making it difficult to do so, and thereby allowing smaller terror cells to wreak havoc on the ground.
The 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio may well be cancelled with many facilities still far from completion and growing civil unrest in a country rattled with corruption and governmental ineffectiveness. This is in addition with all the craziness around dope testing results for the athletes and the systemic corruption in that as well.
Lionel Messi, having lost the final of the 2016 Copa America in penalty shootouts announced his retirement from international football. Like seriously? Messi retiring from international football!? This was so messed up I didn't even wanna explore my own feelings regarding this(because its too upsetting bro).
In India too, Delhi is in administrative chaos thanks to AAPtards. With other cities planning to take up the odd even scheme for reducing vehicles on the roads, without compensating with additions to the public transport mechanisms, its gonna get worse. The growing concerns, valid or not, of the rise of extremist hindu activists still goes unaddressed(hopefully nothing to worry about there right?).
In terms of Global Economics, I lack the information to say anything intelligent about it, but it can't be good for people like us.
There are plenty more horrors & messed up scenarios probably going around in the world that I haven't read of in the mainstream news and that further drives the question, "How the f@#k did we get here?!"
