It should be obvious to anyone who tries to live their life with eyes wide open; there is no level of corruption beyond human capacity. When money and power are on the line, looking away becomes a natural reflex. I am not saying everyone is corrupt; there are those among us who can keep those devils at bay, but the capacity and inclination remain. Look no further than the numerous individuals within the Catholic Church. Mike Pompeo may or may not get to suit up for the starting lineup, but we can all rest assured that a suitable (pun intended) payout will be forthcoming. It has ever been this way.

Not to worry however: climate change is coming for us all. The human species has engineered an extinction event in less than 250 years. Money and power. To put it succinctly, we're f**ked, we just can't see it yet.
