Here's the raw deal. Down and dirty.
The President. He can't lower the price of food or make more oil appear out of thin air. He can't give you a job unless he hires you himself or indirectly through his direct federal blalaklkfjajd nonsense... nonsense. And yes... an entirely new swarm of assholes are sweeping in to fuck things up and this time... they definitely don't trust those last set of assholes. So, we get to smell the same shit. Just different assholes.
Now can he fuck things up... sure. But temporarily as well... the reason he won the election is the people actually wanted him. That's how it works. I didn't and don't but that's the deal. Ethically unless he eats a babies head on tv, I don't see much stopping this and frankly, I don't think I want to as... I actually think that asshole blowhard is right.
I think Elon was right and this economy is in serious trouble. I think the majority of people have no earthly idea how money works. They put their trust in money like they put their trust in God, by watching successful people and trusting ... 'That's how it's done'. That's it That's your economic model. For real... I know you can't believe that but it's a horrible, horrible truth.
Most people don't know this but it was Sir Isaac Newton who put England on the Gold Standard. There is a reason why the greatest Physicist... and I mean absolutely no disrespect by calling him a Physicist, I apologize immensely Sir.... but yeah, why the Mint? Ever think about why someone like Newton chose to be the Master of Coin? No? Just staring blankly at the screen are you? Had no idea? Did ya?
Well, yeah... Newton... Mr. Fig himself was Master of Coin and Lord of Castle Le Rock. Why? And why did he do what he did? Hmm.... sorry... probably not relevant. Ancient history and as we know, history is unique each and every time. Look. We have TV's. We have limitless porn of every imagination. Who gives a shit what Newton and his clearly estranged butt-buddy Leibenz... Leibniz... shit... why is that so hard to remember.. I call him Mr. Binary. LOL
But one thing we need to recall.
Remember when the housing market collapsed? What did we do?
That's right, we scrimped and saved and paid... no?
No?
No.
We borrowed 2 Trillion dollars and gave it away to spend as fast as possible. Well no... George Bush Borrowed a Trillion and Obama walked in and doubled down. And they just gave it away... Here... take it! Why would Obama double down on insanity? Hmm.... Can't figure that one out.
Well... Let's think. Remember the Collapse of 2002 when our economy evapo... no? NO?
No?
How... oh that's right... we borrowed Trillions of dollars and attacked Iraq to get our chemical weapons back. Fuckers actually destroyed them.... can you believe it! Who gets rid of chemical weapons? I mean who? That's nuts? Well... they did... My bad. Still, economic ruin averted....
What economic ruin? Oh yeah... Enron Worldcom Tyco... on and on and on and well... too bad all the evidence to put all that corruption away just evaporated along with your concern about economic collapse. Why worry about money when you have Snipers killing everyone everywhere!!! YIKES....
You laughed at that hot ass Sarah Palin for building a bridge to nowhere! Why? Every bridge in Alaska is a bridge to nowhere! LOL. What the fuck do you spend billions of dollars on for no sudden reason! How on earth does that work?
So... Please... I do understand the gloom and doom but honestly... what is fucked up is Cheney was on our side. Cheney. On our side... I'm thinking it's time to just sit back and take my time and do the best I can with what I got. Oh and I spend time reading too... so I don't stress as much...
Just my thoughts...
Oh... the point. Who do I want to handle the collapse? Hmm... the best person to blame it on? Sounds like the perfect Cheney plot to me...

'The sun didn't shine... we couldn't play. What did we do? We just sat, sat, sat...And then something went BUMP! OH How that bump made us jump', said the cat, his smile sliding like a shimmer.
'Why do you sit there like that', said the cat?
'I know it's bleak and that sun isn't sunny but still, let me tell you something that is quite so funny...'
Holy shit... would you get the fuck out of my head!!!
'How can you be so certain you're not in my head?', said the cat. His smile growing all at once gigantic and tiny at the same time while staying the exact same size.
Stop that Cat!
The cat licked it paw and stared out the wall of the box where the window should be... the sun warming his fur as the soft moonlight serenades us. I drink a bit of Alice's potion... making sure my calculator is in my pocket... these numbers are going to be massi...
'These numbers are going to be massive', said the Cat. Without even moving his lips...
'Say, isn't it almost time for tea?', I asked.
The cat didn't even look up... I knew he hated the Hatter but honestly... if you're going Quantum, you need infinite Tea.
