Severe Economic Suffering Is Taking A Very Heavy Toll On Millions Of American Families
Economic Collapse Blog ^ | 2/10/21 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 02/14/2021 6:25:38 AM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

hope of ever turning things around no matter how hard you try? Right now, there are millions upon millions of Americans that have been emotionally crushed by this economic downturn, and many of them have completely lost all hope. Those around them may be telling them to “hang in there”, but month after month goes by and nothing ever seems to get better.

For a moment, I would like for you to consider a scenario. Imagine that you own a successful small restaurant somewhere in the country. Despite the odds, the restaurant has been successful enough over the years for you to make a living, but now during the COVID pandemic it has been bleeding red ink for months. You keep putting more of your own money into it to keep it alive, but now your own bank account is running dangerously low. The office job that your wife had was always a steady source of income for the family, but she lost that job shortly after the pandemic began. Unless your wife can find a comparable job very quickly, you won’t be able to pay the mortgage in a couple of months. Meanwhile, the drug company that produces the medicine that your son depends upon to survive just raised prices for the third year in a row and your family doctor just told you that your daughter desperately needs surgery. At the same time, your hot water heater needs to be replaced and something is wrong with your vehicle but you are afraid to take it to the mechanic because of how much it might cost.

Does any of that sound familiar?

It’s all part of the communist plan.

As intended. The budding dictatorship means very dependent people. People scrambling to survive and constantly in fear of losing the ability to eat or haves roof over their heads are easy to control. The USSR, red China, and Venezuela are all modeled on this.

Perhaps if we stood up and put the rightful winner of the 2020 election back is his rightful place as POTUS things could improve quickly.

As long as we allow this fraud to destroy our country we will be miserable.

I guess the time has come to “you know, the thing”.

Exactly.

It's highly likely that most of these particular American families are "deplorables."

Nothing to see here, move along, move along.
Believe me, if there was some way for the Party of Escrement to blame the right for the fact that Falsi Fauci and his mask and separation fiasco, this would be headlined.

Oops, “excrement”, not escrement. When thinking of leftists, I’m always tempted to use the shorter and more descriptive word starting with “s”.

It really is unconcionable when you see big box and chains open but not the smaller venues. And I don’t know what I would have done if I had a school age child at this time.

My primary strategy is “no more Mr. Nice Guy.” If your a democrat/Biden supporter, then you get no help from me - period. It’s about time we start making these brain-dead bozos pay for their own bad decisions. And, if your a liberal, RINO, or fence-sitting politician, I’m campaigning against you.

Hi.

“It’s all part of the communist plan.”

And the China virus was the catalyst.

Real estate, gas, food prices way up. The working class’s biggest enemy (after the Uniparty), inflation, is gearing up.

Bolshevik slogan: “The worse,the better”. To impose communism it is first necessary deconsruct, destroy, demoralize,and create despondacy and then impose the new, permanent order. It happening now in America.

You know exactly what is going on here. Shut down small businesses that compete with the Walmarts, Amazons and Targets so their competition is eliminated and they become even bigger. Kick out independent restaurants and strengthen chains. Make self-reliant Americans dependent on the dole. You have people like Josef Biden, Pelosi and a bunch of others who set these policies but who have made every dime they have off being in the government, having access to insider information, and steering opportunities to their relatives. They have no idea what it is like to start or operate a business, employ people, or be uncertain where the next paycheck is coming from. So their policies follow.

Anyone who voted for Joseph Stolen or stayed home gets little sympathy from me.

Governor Inslee of Washington thinks restaurants can survive at 25% capacity. The evil this man is propagating is deliberate. There’s no other credible explanation.

Looking so far like this will indeed be the Century of China, as has been predicted, as has been planned.

China has been weaponizing space. Chinese warships have increased in numbers and power. China now controls many South American ports. Chinese troops will mass up in Canada and South America, then Mexico.

America will become China’s new farmland, mineral/energy resource and their elites’ playground. Americans will become constantly monitored, socially scored, working class biotches.

Patriots waited too long, the commie cancer has metastasized. Last minute treatment, now, will be harshly invasive and damaging.

Yep, getting rid of Trump and keeping YOU under control are the priorities.

No more Constitution for YOU!

People weren't panicked enough with the global warming hoax, so when the virus came along they found a "crisis" to not let go to waste.

So, they exaggerated its risks and lied about the impact, to the point that gun shot deaths and car accidents became "COVID deaths".

The Red State economies are screwed and now that they have control of your life YOU WILL NEVER GET IT BACK.
