>All the same kinds of people are in still in charge. Very true. However the quality of those kinds of people has declined further while it has become easier for complete non-leaders to attain leadership positions around the world. The political & financial leadership shortcomings across-the-board are more disappointing through time since it doesn't seem like there is enough sophistication to avoid war as well and preserve what prosperity there is. So this is all basically threatening peace & prosperity, that's what really gets people worried. The pandemic certainly didn't help, why work so hard if you may not even be around tomorrow.
