Steyn always has a way of crystallizing seeming disparate things with the big picture ... the escalators that only go down, for example ...
And pointing out that the 1099 means an inability to conduct a person to person business deal without involving the government ... I’m sure most people don’t even begin to think of it that way ... that you cannot have a transaction between private citizens, mutually agreed upon, without involving the feds ...
In a way I look forward to the whole f%$#ing thing crashing down, because it is obviously too late to fix it working inside the system.
I believe the Cloward-Piven strategy *is* to make it all come tumbling down. Of course, their fantasy is that somehow a socialist utopia will be born out of the ashes...
Amen! I've come to the point where I resent any attempt to fix the current system since such efforts only delay its inevitable crash. The sooner it crashes the sooner we can get busy building a new one.
I resisted coming to this conclusion but now that I'm in my 70’s I have lost the will to resist. Hopefully the crash will come soon enough that there will be some of us left around to tell those setting up the new system “how it used to be.”
