i've had pretty much a doomsday scenario brewing in my head since the night of 08Nov2016. it's all almost surreal because I never really believed that this would happen in my lifetime. but the writing is on the wall. As we speak millions of people cannot go to work, won't get paid, may go hungry, will lose their jobs and their homes...it's hard to imagine at this point that the worst part is not still to come.
