Who could miss the imagery:
Palestinians burn tires and throw stones toward Israeli forces as they gather to support a maritime demonstration to break the Gaza sea blockade in Gaza City on October 22, 2018
Except for the one of that freakish woman who is all agog over MF45. Ugh! Made me sick. And the one of him on his inauguration. Other than that, all very powerful images.
Thanks for posting. 
"Audience member Robin Roy reacts as U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump greets her at a campaign rally in Lowell, Massachusetts, on January 4, 2016. "
The economic crash, climate change with extreme weather events, electing radical politicians around the globe, out of control consumerism and capitalism, mountains of trash and polluted and dying oceans, wars and civil unrest, worsening economic inequality, thousands of plant and animal species going extinct......the list goes on and on.
However, the cartoon probably represents the way older people have felt throughout history....

Hartmut Schwarzbach's picture shows a young girl in search of plastic waste in a Manila slum. UNICEF say the photo successfully captures the "three tragedies of our time": poverty, pollution and child labor.

(snip)
A German freelance photojournalist was awarded the "UNICEF Photo of the Year 2019" Thursday for his picture of a young girl fishing for plastic waste in polluted waters in the Philippines' Port of Manila.
Hartmut Schwarzbach captured the girl, Wenie, as she collected plastic pieces in exchange for some money from a recycler.
The UN Children's Fund said that Schwarzbach's photograph is significant because it tells "of the courageous fight for survival of children in the face of three tragedies of our time: poverty, pollution and child labor."

At the time of the photograph, the girl was 13 years old, according to Schwarzbach. She is now 15. According to UNICEF, many young children are forced to collect waste in Manila's contaminated waters.
"They risk their health and often also their lives, when they are in the germ-contaminated water ... to search for resources to sustain their existence."
UNICEF highlighted at the awards ceremony in Berlin that even if child labor is banned, "many girls and boys in slums have no other choice."
