My feeling on this is that it’s going to take a lot more pain to get Americans off their feet and into the streets to effectively resist this tyranny. And I do mean, a LOT more pain.
It’s apparent to me, at this point, that the majority is still well insulated enough, that they’re merely uncomfortable. Discomfort does not make revolutions. Only severe and unrelenting pain brings that.
you summed it up well. And that pain unfortunately hits us all, even those that know what’s going on and what needs to be done.
My Dad used to get all kinds of sales courses that had different angles. He had one he shared with me long ago and the key was to find the “pain” in the customer and solve it.
If there is no pain, there is no reason to solve the problem - just as your post stated.
Lousy for the good guys/gals but unless some real gutsy folks decide to step out hard, we will see further, faster decline.
