What is the Element?

The politic has become repetitive to the point, a vacation is in need to recuperate. What does this tell us? We have had to much of a not so good thing. Everyone seems to know what the others need. But the truth of the matter is, they only want to keep what they already have, and try to get more.
Now we do know some people have lost everything they had and more. The ones in the middle are hoping not to lose more then they already have. With hope that pinch pennies will help them get through it. And also hoping the politician will stop lying about it, and tell us if the bad money is returning.
Then we have the characters that make it happen. Ain't talking about politicians either. Talking about the characters that burn money for enjoyment. The enjoyment of thinking they are in control.
Good things don't last forever, they can only go so far, then the elements turn on you, there is no controlling that.
What is the elements?
Have the patience to wait and watch, the anwser to the question will come.
