Thanks for the thoughtful comments.
It will be interesting to see a country swing from a capitalist success to a socialist/communist nightmare overnight. Some serious economic disruption heading our way.
People in this country (or what’s left of it) are going to learn a hard lesson.
“....going to learn a hard lesson.”
Thank you. Not sure they can. Just the existence of a celebration of mediocrity of this obvious an overage is, I feel, a small display of the failures in store for us. And until it ruins enough lives and people have to watch that type of destruction involving personal loss, like a close family member dying from an illness that Obamacare won’t treat claiming end of life needs for the whole, or losing their homes and being put out on the street and not taken care of by Uncle Sugar, or just flat going hungry, they will sit in bliss like a small animal in the headlights and have their existence taken away from them. And while they are being totally destroyed, they won’t understand the pain.
I’ve watched this transition since the 60’s. I’m an old man now, both in age and mileage, and I and my wife are set for life with plans we executed 50 years ago. After that, the kids’ decisions are theirs and I can’t help them. And they will have to set the rules for themselves. I wish them well.
