I’ve known for a very long time that the nation is in trouble. At a time when we are facing the unchecked spread of COVID-19 and growing racial unrest the fissure in our people grows ever more dangerous everyday.
I marvel at the number of people who parrot DJT’s mantra about COVID-19 being a hoax. I can guarantee you this, none of those almost 140,000 dead souls would call it a hoax. We are going to lose a lot more people before this is over.
I marvel at the people who are perfectly willing to trade the lives of their fellow Americans and their children for the sake of the economy. What they Don’t understand is that this rhetoric about a robust economy is the real hoax. All you need to do to get a real clue of what the real economic condition of our country is pay your credit card bill via the phone. When you do you get a recorded message telling you that if you are experiencing a financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 please press a designated number. At first glance you might think the banks are being altruistic and trying to help. Banks aren’t altruistic. Their predatory. They are trying to help, not you but themselves. Prior to this pandemic credit card debt in the US was at an all time high. What their attempting to do is identify their exposure and minimize the damage by the default rates that they know are right around the corner.
Come September the proverbial shit hits the fan. Mortgage foreclosures, rental evictions, automobile loans and credit card defaults will start hitting the fan. 2008 is going to look like a picnic in hindsight compared to what’s in front of us. Under the best circumstances this was be taxing. As a divided people fighting over whether to wear a mask and whether black lives really matter it’s the kiss of death. None of us really know whether Nero really was guilty of fiddling while Rome burned. However all of us know how ineffective #BunkerbitchakaDJT was in providing leadership through this nations crisis.
We have been collectively set up. 1% of the population controls 40% of the nations assets. What do you think that percentage is going to look like when this false economy goes south? It may hit some of us harder than others but white privilege will not shield anyone from feeling some pain.
At some point in the future when the history of our Republic is examined there will be two primary talking points. The first will be what we could have been if we had lived up to the promise. The second will be the head scratching about how a country allowed a third rate grifter to put the final nails into her coffin. The legacy of a nation divided.
THINK!!
EYES WIDE OPEN!!!!
