I fear the demise of this Country has been written, with the consent of the GOP e. They all will flee when the doo doo hits the fan as will the paid shills in the MSM who are Barry’s “sicko-phants”. I remember watching Escape From New York when it came out. Amazing how many of these movies predicted the future. There will be a fence on the Southern Border and the Northern Border, to keep us in. I fear not for myself, but for my children.
The only historical example we have of the collapse of a constitutional republic is the Weimar Republic, but that was influenced by frustrated nationalism. Our case is somewhat different. I can’t think of any fictional story that quite predicts our future, not even “1984”. However it turns out, the proletariat will never live as well as their parents. The media’s job will be to convince them things are much better than at any previous time in history.
Today’s an easy day; installing the entire garden’s drip irrigation system with individual emitters and pinned to ground with sod clips, and electronic timer. Just some tedious work, but nothing like the past weeks’ killer schedule.
The worst heavy lifting is over. Tomorrow or Friday, the edges get cut, and gardens get mulched, drip system is buried and the lawn areas re-seeded and covered with ground-up peat moss or straw, for the winter months.
When I worked at a large chain hardware store doing the accounting and then learning every dept. (including lumber but the guys had a rule, NO GIRLS running the forklift), I learned on the job how to design watering systems and could point the customers in our store to all the right parts and what they needed. I could do everything but that darn Electrical stuff. I knew what they needed but you should have seen the looks on the guys (customers) faces when they came in expecting an Electrician dude to help them and instead was a 90 lb petite blonde chic in college. lol I could make a key that worked with the best of them. Old style, not that computer crap they do now. BUT, no forklift for me. Lumber department guy rules (unwritten but followed) for gals. Probably something to do with the old-husbands tale of female drivers.
Glad today is an “easy day” for you! You deserve a rest.
I hear ya. I have four kids. (no grandkids yet, my kids are still going to school, or out of school and working, and all are not married yet). I fear for them.
I agree with you. Barry told America from the beginning he was going to fundamentally change America. I think even they are pleasantly surprised they are succeeding so quickly. Once they are done (Tarp was for election money payback) they will flee leaving the rest of us to fight for crumbs. They will leave this once Great Country, a third-world sewer. Barry, his Administration, the Elites of both parties are Treasonous. The document that should have stopped them is The Constitution. They have laid the foundation patiently for years by co-opting Education, Government, media, and now the military. I am profoundly angry and sad at the same time. I won’t go down without a fight, for my kids and yours.
I remember what the USSR looked like. The lines for bread. The people afraid of their Government, their neighbors. The generation after me has no memory or knowledge of Communism.
I had four engineers-turned-programmer working for me and all were from former Soviet Republics; Rita from Belarus, Serge from Azerbaijan, Yuriy from Ukraine and Katerina from Russia. They had some stories to tell. The oppression was all pervasive, even to getting a driver’s license. I would take them all to lunch about once a month and just asked questions and listened to their stories and jokes. They couldn’t understand how people born here could be so gullible about what was coming.
Interesting and I wish the dumbed down Education system attendees would hear those stories.
I have another drinking buddy friend Stanley who was about 8 or 9 and lived in eastern Poland when the Soviets invaded in 1939. He brought tears to my eyes when he recounted what happened to his family. I’m going to write his story some day soon.
That would be a wonderful thing.
Come to think of it, I’ve only seen one female forklift driver, and she was darned good. The mgmt ‘promoted’ her to front office, so the guys would stop their griping. She didn’t drop a load, run down a propane cylinder, have one accident or tip-over, like all the other guys did on a regular basis. I taught her, and her record was second only to mine, which also PO’d the idiot guys. I was resented by the shop guys for making them look bad, although they didn’t need any help. Luckily, it was a summer college job, and I left in August for Sr year, never to return.
Awesome chick!
