I wondered how long it would take and it didn’t take long.

How many years? How many billions of dollars?

They never learn. They don’t have to. They spend play money and they don’t earn it.

What should we expect from a society that will pay $100 million for Taylor Swift’s cat to endorse products?

Not much.

Such a society should not last long but it does somehow.

Amazing isn’t it?

$10 billion but that was over 24 years or something like that

About 10.

You do realize your government was/is wasting *trillions* in American treasure on foreign countries, right?

Decadent societies can last quite a while if they don’t have any real competition militarily, which is the case we are currently in. We only have to worry about the barbarians inside our own society, who can bypass our military defenses, but we’ve already bred a couple generations of them, so it shouldn’t be long now.

Oh, come on...

The English’s first colony in North America, was utterly lost, and the whole population mysteriously gone; never found again.

Jamestown lost 2/3rds of its colonists the first year, and was almost wiped out by Indians after only a few years.

In the Pilgrim’s Plymouth had a similar almost-disaster.

Perhaps they shouldn’t have even tried, and “wasted” all the Queen/King’s treasure.

Then us American born conservatives could be tugging our forelocks when Prince Harry rode his stead by our bent backs.
