Yup. Does not look good. Of course, over in the UK we have the brexit 
nonsense to deal with. But that only reveals stupidity in the ruling 
class, not active maliciousness.

Still, trying to steer towards extropian themes: the way of handling 
disasters is to (1) avoid them happening, (2) make actions during the 
event to mitigate damage, and (3) have good recovery options. It might 
be interesting to analyse the problem of political systems going into 
headspins this way.
