Well, that happens when you close all the businesses and make everybody stay inside and print a gazillion dollars to pay off favored enterprises.

So buckle up and hold on tight, because we are going to see staggering levels of civil unrest and crime in 2024 and beyond.


A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, .......................

Well regulated means being of like mind for a purpose.

If I shake you awake in the middle of the night and ask you why you fight. After you reach for your gun, what do you tell me?

Our Founding Fathers could answer that question.

Revolution Calling - Queensryche

For a price, I’d do about anything except pull the trigger
For that, I’d need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X, the man with the cure
Just watch the television, yeah, you’ll see there’s something going on

Got no love for politicians or that crazy scene in D.C.‌
It’s just a power-mad town
But the time is ripe for changes, there’s a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I used to trust the media to tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I’ve seen the payoffs everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone’s a crook?

[Chorus]
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
There’s a revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

[Verse 2]
Well, I’m tired of all this bullshit they keep selling me on TV
About the communist plan
And all the shady preachers begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their secretaries the slam
They’re all in Penthouse now or Playboy magazine
Million-dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn’t wrong, fame fifteen minutes long
Everyone’s using everybody, making the sale

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I used to think that only America’s way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody’s lives
Gotta make a million, doesn’t matter who dies

[Chorus]
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
There’s a revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I used to trust the media to tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I’ve seen the payoffs everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone’s a crook?

[Chorus]
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling you
There’s a revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling you
There’s a revolution calling (Revolution)
Revolution calling (Revolution)
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

It will be anarchy similar to a zombie movie, but replace zombies with feral urbanites.

“Many of them love to post photos and videos of their luxury lifestyles on their social media accounts...”

______________________________________________

So, despite their wealth and luxury, they are still empty inside and need the attention and affirmation from total strangers. An excellent example and further proof that money does not buy happiness.

Nice, wishful sentiment for the 80% but there are no Robin Hoods around. Only Hoods. And they are called ‘government.’

He steals from the poor and gives to the rich
Stupid bitch.

Many during the DemPanic found it impossible to continue paying rent. So they stopped doing so

Have most of those folks now resumed paying rent? Or no? If their landlords have now evicted them, where are they living?

“The FedEx truck had nowhere to go, because once it reached the intersection there were cars that suddenly moved into position to block it…”

Well, there’s no car on the road that can actually stop a truck if the driver is not in a mood to be stopped.

Most of them got rental assistance from the federal government, who paid off their debt with printed money (spreading the debt to everyone else through inflation).

As to where the ones that got evicted are living, who knows? Some of them are probably part of the homeless epidemic now. But also, prospective renters are trying to use falsified IDs and falsified income documents now at levels never before seen. I’d say maybe 10% of the people trying to rent are probably engaging in fraud of that type, so they may be ones trying to hide their debts and previous evictions.

Please ... These ‘Robin Hoods’ steal from the rich and keep it themselves.

Many of them love to post photos and videos of their luxury lifestyles on their social media accounts, and that is not a good thing.

Whenever I see someone post pictures of their 10,000sf pad or stable of exotic wheels, or driving around town in one, I can't help but think "well there goes someone with a big target on their back." But that's their right, and God bless.

You're better off with a nice gentleman's farm and some reliable - but not too flashy vehicles so as to draw little attention. Thugs will follow a guy driving an Aston Martin home in order to jack it (as happened recently downstate). A two year old Tundra, not so much.

I’ve had higher bank deposits but funnily enough aren’t accruing money. Odd isn’t it?

The wealthy is now mostly Democratic. All the Bush folks have switched parties in the past 20 years.

The Republican Party represents the middle class now.

The Democrats need more votes so they'll import more immigrants.
