Enjoy it while you can. Events are converging ominously this summer in the direction of unwinding expectations and serial train wrecks of finance and politics. Mr. Trump has made hubris simple by bragging on the supposed triumphs of “his” economy. When it blows up, he’ll own that, too, and the second half of 2018 liable to be a debris-field of shattered national economies, zombie corporations, and floundering institutions.

Howard Kunstler, author of numerous books including "The Long Emergency," is even more jaded and pessimistic than am I. (Personally, I'm a rather jovial, good-humored pessimist. My definition of an optimist: an uninformed pessimist.)

You don't ride rough-shod over nature, stab you friends and allies in the back, remove protections from the financial sector, cozy up to thieves and murderers, and generally screw the pooch without consequences. Things are bound to get ugly.
