This feels a lot like the early stages of World War III. There are the obvious signs: sabers rattling, countries invaded, allies treated like enemies. Throw in massive riots and protests around the world. Add a pinch of drought and crop failure. Our world system built upon freedom of the seas and open trade is coming apart before our eyes. Just wait until the 2026 recession takes hold.
While there are parallels, this isn’t the 1930s. Keep an eye on what happens in digital space. The early salvos are not being fired with artillery. This phase involves things like massive data breaches and AI generated deep fakes. Since the modern world relies heavily on computers and the Internet the damage is immense.
When your cards and payment apps stop working you’ll be just another casualty of the opening stages.

Your last sentence says it all.
ReplyDeleteAdd to that riots and "Flash " protests with Professionally made signage blocking commercial traffic.
A Bad Moon rising.
Note to self: get more popcorn.
DeleteLOL popcorn's cheap and tasty.
ReplyDeleteHope you have two years worth of those pressed firewood blocks friend. Staying warm when the lights are randomly off is nice.
Firewood grows on trees and I've got trees. I use the blocks because I've better things to do with my time right now.
DeleteSorry 6 Bears I thought you were on the injured reserve list. My bad.
DeleteDoes sound like that Toro Battery Snowblower is a nice "powered walker" for clearing snow.
Well this sux, grew up in a family that owned movie theaters. Consequently I don't care much for popcorn , as that was one of my duties to pop all the corn that we sold. Believe me , that was a pile of little yellow fat pills !
ReplyDeleteOne thing I don't need to worry about , is heat. None the less, I've got around two cords of oak stacked out back, just in case I need it to cook all the future meals of long pork which I envision , to be on everyones menu...
Good that fladuh recently legalized open carry. It may well be time to start doing so.
The crazy folks seem to be multiplying.
NH allows concealed carry without a permit.
DeleteHogs take care of problems around this area.
ReplyDeleteCrazy people do seem to be multiplying.
