I tried one of my new Trumpxiety  pills last night

Hyperzole?

Knocked me out..

I see Trump as a personal problem. Not for me. Not really for the nation even.
Just people like you that love self-reinforcing narratives and hyperbole.

Latest Crisis freaks are boring as hell.
Whatever happened to all these civilization-ending catastrophes?

• Plastic, chemical, and PFAS pollution: Toxic chemicals, microplastics, and “forever chemicals” have spread through water, soil, food chains, and human bodies. About 400 million tons of plastic are produced annually.
  
  Antimicrobial resistance: Drug-resistant bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites are making ordinary infections and routine surgery more dangerous. .
   
• Human trafficking and forced labor.
   
• Synthetic-drug and precursor-chemical networks: Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids, methamphetamine, counterfeit pills, and rapidly changing “designer drugs”.
   
• Global tax avoidance, illicit finance, and kleptocracy: Shell companies, anonymous ownership, trade misinvoicing, corruption, offshore wealth, and money laundering continue to drain public revenue. .
   
• Debt distress and development-finance failure: Many lower- and middle-income countries face high interest costs, weak currencies, climate damage, and reduced fiscal room for health, education, and infrastructure.
   
• Aging and failing infrastructure: Bridges, water systems, electrical grids, ports, railways, dams, schools, hospitals, and flood defenses are often maintained only after failure.
   
• Grid fragility and energy-system bottlenecks: Electricity demand is rising because of data centers, air-conditioning, electric vehicles, and industrial electrification, while grids are old
  .
• Groundwater depletion and water insecurity: Aquifers are being pumped faster than they recharge in major agricultural and urban regions.
   
• Biodiversity and ecosystem collapse: Insect decline, fisheries depletion, soil degradation, deforestation, coral loss, and pollinator loss.
   
• Electronic waste and critical-mineral pollution: The world is producing more discarded electronics, batteries, solar equipment, and industrial waste than systems can safely process.
   
• The global housing and homelessness crisis: Housing costs have outrun wages in many major cities, while construction, zoning, land speculation, short-term rentals, and inadequate social housing keep supply constrained.
   
• Digital fraud, cybercrime, and identity theft: Ransomware, business-email compromise, payment fraud, data breaches, and online exploitation have become routine.
   
• Misinformation and institutional distrust: Social-media manipulation, deepfakes, conspiracy ecosystems, foreign influence operations, and declining trust in journalism, science, elections, and public institutions form a persistent crisis.
   
• Unresolved nuclear, biological, and chemical-security risks: Nuclear weapons modernization, unsecured biological research, synthetic biology, toxic industrial chemicals, and weak international arms-control systems.
