As we saw with the COVID pandemic, the global economy can be wrecked in a very short period of time. And as we saw afterwards, it takes a long time to recover.

Once again, Trump & the Republicans have led us to the quick crash and we'll need the next administration to work on the long recovery.

Damn! This DDG AI summary is spot-on (I usually don't use them).

"When Rome turned its armies against its own citizens

The Roman Republic and later the Empire, saw several instances where military force was used against its own citizens, usually due to internal political struggles, civil wars, or revolts

- The nature of Roman politics: Power struggles and rivalries among powerful individuals and factions were common throughout Roman history, especially during the late Republic and periods of imperial instability.

- The evolving role of the military: As the Republic transitioned into an Empire, the army's role shifted from primarily defending the state's external borders to also playing a decisive role in internal power struggles and securing the position of ambitious leaders.

- Moral and legal implications: Using armies against Roman citizens or within Roman territory was often considered a violation of tradition and law, but ambitious leaders were willing to defy these constraints in pursuit of power."

Hmmmm.... Sound familiar?

Lessons from the Late Roman Army

June 25, 2014

"As the Empire grew, successive leaders, now styled as Emperors widened the veteran benefits until the mid third century A.D. After this troubled period of revolts, barbarian attacks and #EconomicDownturn and collapse, Roman authorities gradually reduced pensions and lengthened the period of active service necessary to receive full credit for service. This appears to have been done to reduce taxes for wealthy Romans living in the provinces."
