And whose fault is it?

These aren’t the best of times.

Politically, economically, financially, emotionally and mentally, millions of us are going through the wringer with life.

If you’re American, right now, it counts for little that you voted for Kamala Harris, as you’re beholden to the destructive policies of Donald Trump, which is playing out domestically and internationally.

If you’re German and your politics isn’t to the far right, you are quite likely to be having sleepless nights, wondering what would become of your country, should AfD end up winning the majority of the votes cast on Sunday.

If you’re Ukrainian, you’re dealing with the distinct possibility of becoming a Russian colony with all the madness that comes with genocidal colonialism.

If you’re Palestinian, you’re coming to terms with the extraordinary devastation which has been wrought in the lives of your loved ones and also with the likelihood of being forcefully ejected from a land which belongs to your forebears.

If you’re British, you’re dealing with the full effects of Brexit — regardless of political inclinations — which has all but destroyed the every facet of life and not to mention the internal cohesion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, itself.
