The thing about techno is... It says modern life is robotic, bleak, isolated, alienated. It's the noise of post-industrial wastelands, post-human cityscapes full of sirens and alarms, freight trains, production lines, or just faceless data. And then it says, okay, fcuk it, let's DANCE TO IT ALL.

Trump is always going to get worse - today is the best he'll be, tomorrow's going to be worse. World leaders and business leaders need to stop placating and tiptoeing, and join together to push back on his lawlessness, his cruelty, and his corruption. Basic "how to handle a bully" stuff.

You have a unscrupulous and clinically insane idiot elected as your president and he wants to own the world.
