@phd....(which I find presumptive...)
So....the conservatives rig the game to allow themselves to siphon off enormous amounts of cash, claim it's all the fault of the progressive/liberal excess.
Leave the wreckage for the p/l side of the equation to repair the damage, so the conservatives can run their scenario yet again...
Meanwhile, the status of any or all nations is subject to this cycle that generally degrades all of the societies involved. This leads to conflicts, both political and physical (a.k.a., 'wars'), that leads to poisoning any attempts to 'get everyone on the same page' to keep from trashing the planet.
That's just ducky... :(
