The
Trump Administration, in its entirety, is proof positive that the
Peter Principle is the real deal; not one of Trump's
Cabinet-level appointees has the knowledge, the experience or the
dedication and commitment needed to effectively lead the department
that he or she was appointed to run. The same can be said for all of
his other appointees, as well.
When
Trump promised to drain the swamp (quite likely the only promise he
ever kept), he didn't make clear his intention to drain it directly
into his administration. However, that's exactly what happened, and
as a consequence the government of we, the people, is in grave and
imminent danger of becoming a government of they, the corporations.
When
corporations are given license to operate free of regulations and
restrictions, it's only a matter of time―and
not a very long time―until
entire ecosystems collapse; many are already on the brink.
Only a short time remains before irreversible tipping points begin
their fatal plunge; this is the amount of time we have remaining in
which to save ourselves. The longer we delay, the less certain
survival of the human―and
other―species
becomes.
What
global leaders―and
global citizens, as well―need
to understand is that humanity is on a collision course with
extinction. Every day we delay in taking the necessary actions to
avoid this fate brings us one day closer to the end of everything.
