Daily I see people walking the highway infront of the business I work for. They carry bags of groceries (bright yellow_ from the Dollar General. Walking sometimes w/kids also carrying a bag or two. I figure they can’t put gas in a vehicle-and this is how they are making ends meet.
Yes, this woman and her idiotic, unfailing believe in ‘Hoax and Chains” is culpable...but it is scary to know how fast it all can unravel.
Err for the grace of G-d go I...
I fear the times is coming when the commodity which we will least be able to afford is sympathy. The great Depression occurred to a God-fearing and Industrious people, not to a generation of helpless and self serving spoiled brats. If and when an economic collapse occurs, the babies, rather than deal with their impoverishment, will throw their bottles and break things.
I fervently hope it is not too late, but I fear that economic collapse and social upheaval may be just around the corner. Many of us may well be walking in as bad or worse shoes soon.
Believe me...I know. For our family, it was my husband’s heart attack last summer. Nine weeks of disability pay; $300 plus a month in medicine co-pays; plus hospital copays; plus...its bad for everyone I know and work with. I know fellow FReepers will flame moi for being ‘squishy’ but I feel this woman’s hurt. Been there...done that.
You make a very scary point.

Truth be told it is already here but the media doesn’t report all of it. America right now is like an aging woman covered in pancake makeup, managing to still look presentable as long as you don’t look too closely.
