"Summary": "<p>I keep reading from political insiders of the impending internal war coming on January 20th between the incoming administration and the deep state that does what it wants to do regardless of who is in control. Will some of this help root out inefficiencies and waste? Maybe. Maybe this war needs to happen to truly address our larger issues. Either way, it will be something to watch, and scary, because in war, there are no rules, you do what you need to do to win. This war appears to be setting up as existential threat to entrenched interests in our government, so they will do whatever they need to survive and win. If this war consumes internal attention, what does that mean for our external threats - Russia, China, Iran and N. Korea? How will they react to take advantage? There is so much targeted, small scale, kinetic, proxy-driven conflict happening geopolitically, and it is escalating. No doubt they will try to take advantage. We are in precarious times, both domestically and internationally, which is not reflected on the surface of everyday life where the U.S. financial markets are healthy, GDP is average, the wealthy continue to spend to keep the economy afloat, and entertainment abounds. But the larger question is...will this impending internal war fix our larger problems, which boil down to (1) a lack of a growth engine for this country to help us grow our revenue to fix our problems, (2) wealth inequality that is causing all our societal and political conflicts and destroying the middle and lower classes, (3) our mounting sovereign debt and overspending, which at this point is an existential threat to the safe functioning of this country. (4) carbonization that is escalating natural disasters and impeding our ability to prosper and even live? Nope. Not one bit. This internal war may become the main show, rather than a side-show, which probably should not be happening at all considering our four main challenges and the state of geopolitics. The incoming administration needs to focus on fixing the 4 primary problems. Does this side-show need to happen? Sure, maybe at some point. And maybe this side-show will help us address the our 4 challenges at some levels. I think this side-show that may become the main-show is really about revenge and destroying political enemies. Thus, our 4 main problems will continue to spiral out of control, leading to a breaking-point. My predictions still stand. Buckle up. </p>",
