[“normalcy bias”.]

THIS in fact, is what I’ve faced from family, friends even acquaintances since 2008. Yes, even most employers, i.e. those who survived that weren’t affected by the crash.

For most of these people, their revenue streams continued. Especially those on social security, because the checks kept coming. I’ve heard their lectures about the way things are - they remember things the way they were 2004 and back. Yeah, I remember those days too.

The tipping point of the H1B’s finally got to my industry in my area and I never was able to recover from 2008. I hear from a few FReepers in similar situations, almost always by FReepmail. All I do is look at lousy jobs these days and even those are close to impossible.

I was the one waving my arms about the economy from 2005 on, especially by 2007. All I got was a pat on the head and labeled with the “black helicopter” crowed, even into early Summer, 2008.

The best part is, I was never officially a “black helicopter” guy. LOL (just the regular tinfoil).

Then, driving into work one morning, I hear on the radio about black helicopters landing in grocery store parking lots in Denver. Black helicopters landing on the roofs of buildings downtown. Teams of men, landing in all sorts of birds, with weapons and some level of combat gear.

All just prior to the Democrat convention. They expected heavy riots, apparently, or something. All leading up to the coronation of one Barack Hussein Obama.

There use to be excellent video - most of that video was scrubbed though some versions have survived. You could see an OH-6 land with men all hanging on the skids. All in the urban and suburban areas of Denver. It was quite remarkable. Most of the footage was from urban areas, though.

It certainly looked like a New World Order or something. Somebody, somewhere, was obviously very concerned about the Democratic convention.

I am unable to find the footage from Denver 2008 with the team being dispatched from an OH-6 (maybe a couple of them). There were several Blackhawks. "Training exercise" it was called. Well, there were certainly stunned people coming out of a grocery store when they saw a helo land and men dispatched. There was excellent news footage, about 1.5-2 mins long showing many of them. It disappeared many years ago. Maybe somebody can still find it. Here's an OH-6 dispatching a team (for an example):

Most folks who give into normalcy bias forget there are things called “Black Swan Events”.

We are due a few based on the financial, global, economic, and immigration turmoil in the world.

When they occur, we’ll dream of the good old days under Barry.
