Good read. It sums up quite a bit of the madness we live under. 2024 will be a horrible year for everyone who is not independently wealthy.
I like to upset leftists by saying that “CE” stands for “Christian Era”.
People that ignore the article because of the use of “CE” are shortchanging themselves.
Thanks for the tip!

Bkmk.

Nice... I’m totally going to steal that.

exactly
I’m guessing CE was written intentionally because even the usage of AD would seem odd — the usage of either is irrelevant to the span of recent times. With respect to the existence of the Country, it’s not necessary to make the distinction between 2024 BC and 2024 AD. For example, we don’t refer to the birth as 1776 AD.
The usage of CE seems to be a mockery of the term itself.
Per Wikipedia: “Kunstler was born in New York City to Jewish parents...”
Let’s ignore anything a Jew has to say if, because of his religious beliefs, he uses ‘CE’ instead of ‘AD’.
Thx. Good link to the same topic. I like to see comment to the post and not a bunch of I refuse to be informed because someone used CE vs AD. Mostly the comments have been I refuse to educate myself because is superficial BS so I’m going to show everyone how important I am by holding my breath, turning blue and …. Just stupid reason not to read something that educates band seems to align with most at FR.
Still trying to figure out the Texas reference of “peccary testicles and mesquite pods” in the second line.
“The usage of CE seems to be a mockery of the term itself.”
Finally—somebody gets Kunstler dark humor.
This thread—omg.

All of you Dorothys out there are in for some exceedingly unpleasant surprises.
The author is speculating that in a post-Biden America, even the historians might be living rough and trying to survive on anything they can find to eat. Ever see the movie "The Road"? Kinda like that.
“I never read a single word after an author uses ‘CE’ to mark time.”
Never heard of it. Just looked it up. What a load of crap, huh?
Would be a very serious situation if the millions of Texas feral hogs have already been eaten and everyone is fighting for the remaining small populations of peccary.
My prediction for 2024: starting about a week into November, personal inventories of ammunition will begin a sudden and steep decline but, good news for reloaders, empty brass will begin to increase
About a third of the way through 2024 and I am not optimistic. It is worse than I thought it would be.
“Sorry, but I never read a single word after an author uses “CE” to mark time.
Not interested.”
A perfect example, IMHO, of the olde idiom of “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”.
Very valid points worth considering in this article. Any knee-jerk refusal to even read the material is very closed-minded and short-sighted... and in doing so, you are doing yourself a disservice. JS...
