A couple of months back I looked around and saw that the Levee of societial and political madness had broken and there was no use in trying to stop it as where do you begin..

Thus "I don't talk to dead people anymore..it is of no use."

At that point I wanted to go off grid and or make as small of a profile as I could in the world. Let the raging waters flow around me...

On of the things that I just do not get is how you BOyz talk about retirement, your 401K's, Equities and or other investments..as if you think with certainty that they are going to be there? HOnest to God you don't get it, it hasn't sunk in....nothing is certain, especially since 08. 2008 showed you nothing. I found when my Mom we dieing that we control nothing..we are at the mercy of the Gods of fate.

Liberals think RICH NATION, WEALTHY NATION...that is NUTZ..how much more bluntly, shockingly can I say it? That the well of riches is endless.. That might have been true in 1965 but it certainly is NOT TRUE TODAY... America has been living on BORROWED MONEY since the 1980's. Today some 84T in NEGATIVE NET WORTH...you figure out what theat means.

Then the Conservative as much as they think that they have not partaken in the spending orgy have reaped the rewards of the system by availing themselves of opportunities that otherwise would not have been there..so they too have lived better and higher than if the nation had been prudent. So their moralization's about the depravity of the teaming masses fall on deaf ears with me. Conservative got theirs and let the party go on unabated.

Now the day of reckoning is here..I could say it is coming soon...but there is too much instability happening at too great a frequency for that to be true. Scenes from Dante's Inferno are becoming all to frequent, and pervasive. You are being inured daily so that the craziness is seen to be normative It is apparent in what you talk about and how you talk about it. ..you do not even realize you have been driven crazy, because you don't even mention nor recognize the elephant in the room.

So where is the line in the sand and you say enough is enough and face reality..that America is broke as a whole and what you think what you have in your bank accounts is really an illusion. It has all been leveraged folks...I put my bet down a long time ago..in 1980..THAT YOU JUST CAN"T DO IT..you will take it to the bitter end where the shelves are empty and the sign on the door says Closed gone out of business.At that point you will have to realize that you have nothing...I suppose you could rattle the door out of frustration demanding to be let back in..but that won't do you no good because the store is empty. Vacant..all the goods have been sold off long ago and who do you complain to? I suppose it will take a coupla days of being hungry and cold for the realization to sink in that what went on before is gone and you will have to start looking for food and shelter..to survive.

It doesn' t matter how much you have...the collective American economy let alone the Global economy dwarfs any personal fortune or combination of personal fortunes..To survive another day personal fortunes have been thrown under the bus and have been chewed up..along with everything else. The USD is the ALL INCLUSIVE CURRENCY IN THE WORLD..indispensable and when they started fking with that you might say they were playing Russian Roulette with six loaded chambers..The leadership was too myopic to understand, they were thinking locally about how to return the US economy to an equilibrium and not about the broader implications. That is why it was such a shock to them when it was brought to their attention in 2013 and they had their Taper Tantrum as a result. Now it doesn't matter anymore..you are dead and don't know it yet. So might as well party like it is 2022...a mad frantic party born of desperation in search of personal salvation. For at some level all realize the light is going out.
