Christopher Hitchens
Debased and wasted
A once keen mind
Now truly basted

Wonder not
That men are throttled
Bring the scotch
And leave the bottle!

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
