So says a logical person. It's not stupid if it furthers their agenda, and it does. Therefore it's a WIN!

Runner-upMy sympathies are with the people that cannot afford to leave. Chaos is the next step in those areas and the silent majority will suffer. Even if the corporations choose to evacuate, this is a time consuming event that will take years to accomplish. Hurt are the blue collar workers. Also, during this time, home values will fall and again the families will suffer. I have said for years, go west young man has lost it's idea of making a better life for your family has changed dramatically.

The silent majority had better step up to the plate. If they chose to "take a knee" and be victims then they deserve what they yield to.

I see these comments all the time, If the police were defunded in my area nothing would change. I can defend my home with or without the police. My neighbor asked if I'd move if the police were defunded. I said hell no, I haven't spoken with the police in nearly three decades "what's gonna change" I don't call the police. If you live out in the woods the police don't protect you from wild animals. What do ya do when a wild animal comes on your property? Whatever ya gotta do, calling the police isn't one of the things on the list.
We're all just looking at the early stages of the making of a third world country, Ronald Reagan's treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts predicted it in the early 2000's, it would take 20 years to make the US a third country, once our economy was offshored to china. We're right on schedule.
Home values plummeted during the last collapse in 2009 nothing new there.

Mike Rietow https://www.paulcraigroberts.o...-paul-craig-roberts/I said that wrong, we're in the late stages.
I've been tracking this since Dyck Cheney / Bush administration took the approach, deficits don't matter.
