It occurs to me this isn't just a chaotic situation, this is like one of those old fashioned chase sequences in the movies where everyone is going every which way in ways impossible in real life.
Perhaps unfortunately, this is real life, and I've got too many ways things are crazy. The possible variations you can get from a situation depends on the starting conditions.
Chess starts with 32 open squares, Go starts with close to 400. "The estimated number of possible board configuration is 10¹²º in chess which is astronomical but Go has around 10¹⁷⁴. It may not seem a lot more than chess's 10¹²º but it is actually 1 million trillion trillion trillion trillion more configurations than chess!"
Point is.. we have Corvid 19, election interference from other countries, corrupt politics (which is corrupting voting, mostly in Republican controlled states), and more.
The Olympics may be cancelled. If the CDC slams the hammer down, that is also going to interfere with the mechanics of the election. No campaign rallies, no door to door volunteer campaigning. Hell, we just might need to print a lot more absentee ballots.
That would set off a recession.
If we have to quarrantine a major city, we don't have a plan to feed them.
To be blunt, I'm old, screw the politics, I don't want to get taken out by a virus because Trump is a corrupt buffoon.
Charleston is flooded, and the mayor is wishing the Dems were getting serious about climate change.
IOW, we have more going on than we can handle. Potentially, a lot more.
Here's hoping we get lucky, because smart we ain't.
