jobs disappearing globally (i.e. in europe, unemployment is hitting high in spain, towards 20%, even as hours are reduced elsewhere in europe for the folks keeping current jobs)

incomes shrinking everywhere (i.e. in hk, with unemployment at historic high of 5.2%, the truth is that folks have lost jobs, but found new ones quickly enough in similar positions at different companies but at 30+% less pay)

all complicated by continuing balance sheet hits, building on a base of the 50% hit up to now

and waiting for the still to be recognized disappearance of hope for salvation, as we are mostly led by folks simply not qualified

above cannot constitute a positive political environment, which, when further muddled with bad or worse, sick, politics, would lead to zero-state monetary reset and darkest interregnum
