I warned there would be a price to pay over Covid. Now do you believe me?
UK Daily Mail ^ | November 19, 2022 | Peter Hitchens

Posted on 11/20/2022 2:01:06 AM PST by C19fan

The coming years of heavy taxes, along with the inflation and rising mortgage rates we face, are not caused by some unstoppable force of nature. Nor is the wild rise in energy prices.

All these things are the direct result of government actions. They did not need to happen. I have warned against them all. And yet there is no political party, not even a minority group in Parliament, that has been remotely interested in such warnings. The whole House of Commons thinks in unison.

On every subject where it could have been right, or even divided, it has been unanimously wrong.

One day the United States will face the consequences of decades of poor fiscal management. Just enjoy the ride as long as one can.

I think blaming covid is short-sighted, I blame climate change for this!

“Just enjoy the ride as long as one can.”

I hear you. I truly believe that by the end of the decade, they will simply have confiscated whatever money they want, so in other words—whats the point of saving?

All of this mass tuition-debt forgiveness is nothing more then a prerequisite for mass bank-account emptying in the name of whatever crisis/scam they can concoct.

If I didn’t have children that still need me, I’d certainly follow a more “enjoy it now while you can” mindset.

I realistically need about 8-10 more solid years before I can say the nest is on it’s own

the wild rise in energy prices.

We can blame most of that on the Climate Change crowd.

We can't trust science to tell us the truth about climate change because science has long since been infected with politics. Science is only used to confirm what those who fund it believe/want/need to be true.

True science is now nothing but bias confirmation.

Definitely a preppers ping thread. I am looking to reduce dependency on the grid and the supply chain daily.

“single world order”

What about diversity as a strength?

It occurs to me that there have been people hawking doomsday for as long as there have been people. This has less to do with science than it does human nature. It’s another set of hucksters who think they’ve found a way to get rich without work.

Ants arguing about who controls the elephant they ride. It would best be ridiculed.

Mr. Hitchens, the UK has the same problem we do: It is run by its Deep State.

But we have a Trump standing between us and ours.

The UK doesn't.

And you need one.

Desperately.

The blame goes to the deliberate actions of the globalists and their puppet politicians they put in place for the great reset. They need to kill what works so they can install what doesn’t for us but works just fine for them

Indeed. Just wait til we see the consequences in full bloom caused by the invasion on the southern border.

ping. We print the world’s reserve currency with abandon, or we would be in the same economic jam as the UK.

I thought it was just too obvious.

the instant the word “climate change” is mentioned anywhere. I instantly gear up into MOPP 4 because I know I’ve stepped into BS land.

I guess neither you or the author got the memo. This is Putin’s fault.

The mass student loan debt forgiveness is more about subsidizing the higher education cartel here (as wary Americans are more hesitant to borrow tens of thousands to learn how to perform increasingly non-existent jobs).

The inflation is far worse, by devaluing your money, forcing people to work more, even “un-retiring” people. Savings means little if the government can simply adjust its value down by half on a whim.
