The wonderful government.

[Ray9]

Walk outside and spit into the wind. Is that a good measure of how far you can trust your government? Are you entertained by all the drama in your media? It’s a show put on for you. How is your 401k doing? Are you prepared to exist in an authoritarian, third world, caged environment? How does Martial Law sound to you?

If you are still alive a month from now then you have passed the first test, the biological one. If you are a Baby Boomer then you probably didn’t put powder up your nose forty years ago. You likely didn’t buy cigarettes by the carton for decades and you didn’t pound the beers down until your liver looks like a sun-dried sponge. If you did all of these things and supplemented the good times with reefer madness, you are among the walking dead and you may want to take care of your final expenses now before it’s too late.

The rest of you may want to consider how the sight of endless convoys of National Guard trucks passing on your roads will affect your sensitivities. How will you handle it when one of your neighbors reports you for suspected hoarding? Rules are important you know, it’s all about the collective, not the individual. When that knock on the door comes, will you welcome the authorities into your home just to check?

And what about that necessary iron curtain that will be thrown up around New York City and other large urban centers? Nobody in-nobody out. It has to be that way; it’s for the good of the state, the country and the world. How will you cope when your job is gone, your Social Security is cut, and your pensions are cancelled? Trillions are needed to fight this you know.

Have you asked yourself what you are not being told? In a hundred years since the Spanish Flu none of this was done. Was that virus engineered in a lab in China? Doesn’t China already own much of the US including our essential drugs? How did that happen? Ask your leaders.

Are you doing your part? Are you staying in your home? Are you separating yourself from others by six feet? Are you getting used to bare store shelves? Isn’t the government wonderful? It’s there for you now like never before.

Anyone's guess as to what comes outta their sleeves next. Groceries have been beyond affordable for some years now for many. Utilities bills just keep going up. One family with three children we know pays over three hundred a month just for water and sewer and that is in cheapsville rural Iowa. Retirees that had little to few choices who took their SS early like Rod did while he was blind and I was too sick to do much of anything unlike us will suffer the most. Thankfully the shithole here is paid for, not much but paid for if the taxes don't keep skyrocketing at least we have a roof over our heads even if it does leak like a sieve its ours and it does keep most of the snow out in the winter. (note that is not a whine just a statement of how it is for many older people now) Younger ones have their future ahead of them if they do not let the fascist, banksters, politicians and Marxist over run them.
