I think it remains to be seen whether the courts slow things down and, ultimately, reject the coup. If the courts accede to the coup, or the police and military refuse to obey the courts, unrest may be necessary but I wouldn't concede their power yet.

I think its more likely that investors and corporations intercede, but that's what the $4 trillion in tax cuts are for. The courts are trying, but they're not being listened to: funds still frozen, people still fired and etc.

The difficulty with your brand of pessimism is that given events of the past month, it may not be pessimistic enough. I have no idea how to protect myself and Mrs. Arch, let alone other people and things that I care about. I’m watching a not-so-slow moving train wreck, unable to step off the tracks.

More booze is clearly the answer.

Buy tear gas stocks, I guess, and build a compound with the profits. I dunno, man. I've been remiss in not posting organizers I like and other resources, but I dunno.

I don't drink much, but I take a tipple now and again from the good Scotch because nobody will prescribe xanax anymore.
