REAL WORLD EMERGING OUT OF FICTON
Years ago watched a movie depicting the near future where the nation's leader (President) and his henchmen and women were the great blatant liars for the vast majority of the population; there were cures for everything if one was wealthy and robots had taken over all the jobs that were chores for humans be it physical or mental.
The very next step was robot takeover - but that is another movie or two.
So with what one has seen of Trump since 2015, he is the first of the persistent leadership liars (over 65,000 lies inside 10 years) and has surrounded himself with other right wing liars, criminals, misinformation providers and thugs. Trump has also implanted dozens and dozens of billionaires and millionaires into his fold and at the helm of these are people who are the top money spinners in space, high tech and robotics like Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos.
The rich get richer and the middle class and below get poorer and are expendable. And that has been happening to some extent for a number of years but is now accelerating.
Of course Hitler was a liar extraordinary and the world most dangerous person after Stalin. But Trump has set the stage for others to follow his foul antics not only in the USA but world-wide.
The year 2025 where all cancers can be cured, all body transplants can succeed and so on - for those wealthy enough to afford the costs.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
