"The president is the Anti-Midas, that is, everything he touches turns to shit. However, we didn't get here by making one mistake, there are a host of issues we haven't faced up to, and resolved. The immediate future is going to be filled with chaotic destruction. My feeling is that we need to apply at least part of our energy to thinking about what we want things to look like when this mess is done with and cleaned up."
"There is tremendous potential for a future we can all be happy with, it's going to take foresight, persistence, and courage to get us there."
The president operates like an Anti-Midas, leaving ruin in his wake. Multiple unresolved problems accumulated over time rather than arising from a single mistake. The immediate future is likely to be marked by chaotic destruction. Strategic energy should be directed toward envisioning and planning desired post-crisis outcomes and cleanup. A rebuilt future holds significant potential for widespread happiness and improved conditions. Realizing that future will demand sustained foresight, persistent effort, and collective courage. Deliberate preparation and long-term vision are necessary to convert coming chaos into lasting positive change.
