If they did the wasteful, irrational purchases being made today would have dropped
by more than 50% and purchases of canned food, OTC drugs, home insulation, etc
would have gone way up.
(Not a criticism of this article. ;^)
1) Today, consumer, governmental, and business debt is huge and out of control. Our economy is based on continual expansion of debt now.
2) The national debt is so large that it threatens the value of the dollar on the world stage. This means that as the dollar falls in value internationally, our purchase prices from china will escalate, resulting in price inflation here at home
3) The government will control what we can spend, and what savings we can withdrw- all in the name of keeping down inflation.
4) All this will really hurt businesses and cause substantial business closures and layoffs.
The minute they actually get DEPRIVED of these poisons (count on Alcohol Stores to be FULL Operational)... They might get healthier, lose an average of 60+ lbs, and start coming out of their Dopamine Driven Stupors to realize... Oh shiite... I was drugged up, overwhelmed, feeling like crap, and can finally think straight...
The minute that happens... You will see FREE JUNK FOOD (the true SOMA in todays story)...
Or at least Government subsidized.
Too bad. I think once people get a bit healthier from lack of food... They WILL Think straighter!
Now, many will just starve... Too dumb...

> We don't have the manufacturing capacity to execute a major war on one front never mind three.
> We don't have the (trained) numbers in uniform.
> We don't have the "leadership" to conduct major war(s).
> Our allies distrust our "leadership". For damn good reason.
> We posses weapons the public isn't privy to, that can wipe the human race off the planet.
> The Arabs have Friends. The Chinese. The Russians. The Iranians, and my hunch is, when this war goes hot, we may lose India and most of the Mid-East countries.
BuyDumb.. Redux? He won't live long enough.
Camel-Toe Harris? Duh!
Big Mike? Read his masters thesis...
Gruesome Newsome? Let Gruesome do for America what he did for California?
I might also add that air travel is becoming a concern. So far it appears that idiocy hasn’t found it’s way into the cockpit but the ground crew and cabin crew are beginning to show signs. It’s only a matter of time.
The pResident and the joint chiefs are on their way to Israel to commit as many as 22,000 of our boys and billions of $ we don't have in preparation to make war with the Arab world.
Jorden and Egypt have refused to meet with the idiot-in-chief.
This is going sideways in record time.
Business will be hurt and find it difficult to stay afloat by the rapidly changing financial scene. People will pull in their horns and turn to government programs to stay alive. Life as we have been accustomed to will change
We have too many, the inflation will come home to roost.
I fully expect Uncle Sam to create 2 "Dollars" One for outside the country, and one for inside the country... The latter will be so worthless, that MORONS will gladly convert it for CBDC...
And then the Controls and Mass Death will follow shortly...
