No, it is not your imagination, that life has become one crisis, emergency or catastrophy after another. This was not the case for most of the now 8th decade that I have been around. However, over the last twenty years, and particularly the last few, it has been a continuous state of affairs. The reason is, that power hungary control freaks in the White House and elsewhere, have to gin up crises in order to take advantage of the extraordinary powers that they themselves have granted themselves. By keeping the public in a constant state of fear and apprehension over the “crises of the week, month, or year” ie. Covid, Ukraine War, mass shootings, they can implement certain extraordinary powers and get Congress and the citizenry to go along with massively insane levels of spending and restrictions of freedoms and rights that would have been unthinkable in even the most recent past. I just posted a piece about the need to get rid of any presidential powers not specified in the Constitution after reading about all the secret powers that Canadian PM’s have put in place over the years. Now, ZH has this follow-up piece about all the similiar powers that  US Presidents have claimed. It has to stop and only the collective will of the people can stop it. It is time to say “enough is enough”.              https://www.zerohedge.com/political/america-meet-your-new-dictator-chief-presidents-secret-unchecked-powers
