- We can get fucked NOW - We can get fucked LATER, after the big fat cats have squeezed that extra last tenth of a cent from our wallets.
Either way, we get fucked.
I think you know where I stand on that. I have water, food and firearms to last me through any armageddon. You can try to marginalize it with words like "gorsh, they's all rich and it's not fair," but in the end the truth is simple: The CEOs are bailing out with GIGANTIC golden parachutes and leaving the public citizen to rot.
We can go after the fucks after it all burns down, in large mobs of pitchfork and torch bearing citizens, or we can farm it out and hand them scads more dough in hopes that human greed doesn't exist and trickle-down economics might suddenly, after decades, turn the corner and work.
Two words: FUCK and THAT.
Is it true that a lot of people don't know what's in store for them? Hells yeah. But I grew up eating out of garbage cans and going weeks without running water. It's about time we reminded people that the welfare system exists for a reason. Let THEM feel the brunt that I had to deal with for fifteen years of my life through no fault of my own. THEN see how much longer they'll let these gaseous bloatbags of money stand on their necks.
Fuck the bailout. Let 'em swing in the wind.
[edit] And as just a reminder: ANYONE who EVER tells you that deep economics, politics or military problems are "surprisingly simple" is either a liar or not looking at the big picture.
