Sadly, the effective way to handle these crises would have been to avoid or minimize it all in the first place, but sadly politicians decades ago who could have done exactly that were nearly as corrupt, greedy, ignorant, and short-sighted as those we still have "leading" the world today. Anyone wishing to debate my view of politicians, first do your research on how many decades ago they had advance warning all these things we hear, read, and see in the news these days were exceedingly likely statistically speaking, but were avoidable with appropriate actions being undertaken to avoid the worst. Pandemics, climate causing weather to freak out, extinctions of entire species, civil unrest, financial craziness. All predicted by many scientists who devote their lives to studying those topics decades ago.
