The neoliberal capitalist model runs on a "Grow or Die" imperative except with climate change, it's now a "Grow and Die" model. But don't worry, she's highballing it to whatever lies around the bend or through the next tunnel.

Trouble Ahead: the Lady in Red
Take my advice: you'd be better off dead
Switchman sleeping, train hundred-and-two
Is on the wrong track and headed for you!
This reminds me of something said to me many years ago when I was a brakeman for Canadian Pacific RR, first of all an explanation about which brakeman was assigned to the caboose instead of the engine, the brakeman with the most seniority got the 'cab' because it was the best ride by far. There is not all the engine noise, (horn included), there are two small stool chairs to choose from while on the caboose it is many times quieter than the head end,rides smooth, the high backed cushioned chairs in the cupola were comfortable and (unlike up front) you have a stove to cook on and a fridge (we had an ice bucket up front. So it is the cream position on the train for a brakeman.
So when I got called for a train one night I was told I was to be on the caboose but when I checked who else was on this crew I saw the other brakeman was senior to me and when I arrived at the terminal he told me he made the choice because if something bad was happening he wanted to be where he would see it first, not just get a call. I thanked him, told him I understood but I was happy to be on the rear of the train because, worse comes to worse I "would pull the pin on the cab (decouple) and the train could go on into the ditch without me".
Short version, that train you describe can go without me, I've left Team Blue, I pulled the pin and it can go over the cliff into the ditch without me.

"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
Remember how intensely George W. Bush was hated; and all he did was break the Middle East and trash the Constitution. Hillary has no interest in restoring traditional rights and liberties; indeed, her view of whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden is worse than Bush’s or Obama’s. And the Middle East isn’t big enough for her: she has set her sights on Russia and China, nuclear powers capable of inflicting incalculable military and economic harm on the United States and other Western countries.
Being as clueless and inept as Bush — and Dick Cheney and the other eminences around him who called the shots while he was President – Hillary too will break whatever she touches; and because her objectives are more global than Bush’s were, she could, and likely will, do even more harm.
One can only wonder what Hillary’s supporters will think then. Give them half a year or a year at most, and today’s so-called liberals will hate her as much or more than self-described conservatives already do.

Hightower a National Treasure.
As a goodbye present to Obama, we should have a needlepoint made with one of Hightower's best quotes:
Vowing To Oppose Everything Trump Attempts.

Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.
Guerrilla Liberalism won't liberate the US or the world from the iron fist of capital.
Is there a bumper sticker saying that?
