You could be forgiven for thinking a site called GoingJohnGalt.org helmed by an objectivist would be constantly drawing parallels between world events and the plot points of the novel Atlas Shrugged. Of course, in a highly general sense, I suppose that is what I do, but man, it would be so easy to just make this a Catalogue of the Apocalypse:
- Huge water main break traps commuters on Md. road
- Ice storm leaves a million without power in U.S. northeast
- State Controller says California could be broke in 2 months
Governments in dire financial trouble, infrastructure crumbling, it all sounds familiar. I’m guessing it’s because of confirmation bias that I’m noticing this stuff more. My favorite story from today, however, is Trapped passengers evacuate Singapore ferris wheel, which includes the detail “There were 173 people, including many tourists, trapped inside the huge tourist attraction.”. Who were the rest, commuters?
