    Yup. Now are we going to learn this time or is it just a cycle we are doomed to repeat?

      Those who don’t learn from history, probably were homeschooled?

      Edit to observe: when I visited Paris, in 1989, I was struck by the celebration of “baguettes! we have fresh baguettes!!!” apparently the presence of bread in the stores was (still?) and unpredictable / unreliable cycle for them. I also wandered into a crowded sandwich shop only to be told “no pain, NO PAIN!” meaning: we’re out of bread and therefore will not be serving you.
