He feels he was snubbed in UN's renovation project of early 2000s.
They rejected his bids.

Despite the grim outlook, the founder's message is not one of despair but of preparation. The key issue, according to the founder, is not whether to worry but "how you as an individual will deal with it." The founder provided clear and actionable advice for individuals to navigate the uncertain future.
Firstly, the founder emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility, quoting the Chinese idiom: "A clever rabbit has three burrows." This means having the ability to move oneself and capital from bad situations to better ones. The founder advised against tying oneself to a single asset like a house, as this could limit the crucial flexibility needed in a rapidly changing world.

I think this compares with that book The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy by William Strauss and Neil Howe. While it doesnt claim governments completely change every 70 years, it does propose a compelling generational theory: that societiesespecially Americaundergo major upheavals roughly every 80 to 100 years, culminating in a Fourth Turning, a period of crisis that reshapes institutions and national identity.
Another book that builds on this idea is The 80-Year Cycle of Transformation: Why Liberals Are Winning by Vivian Harte. It argues that every 80 years, a New Paradigm emerges in American society, transforming its political and cultural landscape.

And our insane provincial bumpkin is now on full display to the world. It is such an embarrassment.
