What do you when you find yourself on the other side of the Looking Glass? In a world where Up is Down, Left is Right, and the more obviously insane or dementia-ravaged your brain is, the more power society gives you?
When I was an Admin at the Doomstead Diner after 2008, we often talked about how, as their response to bankers blowing up the credit system was to give the keys of the kingdom to the bankers (thanks Obama!), that the next bubble would dwarf that bubble, that everything would destabilize ever more over time, and as a consequence, a lot of people would go insane.
We had no idea how insane. It is one thing to talk about it happening, it is another living in it. We never imagined the sterilization and mutilation of children, as example. Or East Palestine. Or "there is no such thing as a woman." Or the covid fraud. Or these geriatrics in their "prime" before the global credit bubble of the aughts, still in "power," over a nation in an advanced state of collapse everybody is acting like is still progress.
Yeah, "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." So many of the insane evils in our world today can be traced back to the scams of globalist banksters. And I would say you're spot on that we are now reaping the whirlwind for the way the 2008 financial crisis was papered over and the bubble reinflated via massive Quantitative Easing.
Hardly anyone noticed, they printed 4.5 trillion over about 4 years from 2010-14, to float the banks. Then they printed at least 10 trillion within roughly a year and a half, fall 2019 to 2021. That's progress! of a kind. Presumably the next time they will print 20tril in a day or two.
That's why I like junk silver coin. Because when they finally blow up the dollar, and do their digital thing, alternative currencies are going to be the real thing.
Wrt footnote #7. My condolences on your sterling-fresh coinage already taken by mobile ducks. Doesn’t subtract from well-deserved moniker that fully suits. Anywhoo, what exactly is accomplished? 😝
Yes, sad to say, I can verify from first-hand experience (as the one making the erroneous assumption) that this is indeed what happens when you assume.
(And I did assume the critic of your profile pic was a "he." Hope I didn't misgender him/her/ze/x/them!)
Lots to love here, though I no longer trust that John Lennon wrote the songs commonly attributed to him. https://jamesperloff.net/hey-hey-were-the-beatles/
Well, if the stories are to be believed, Paul was dead, so it wasn't him either!
Twas Team Tavistock?

That day is coming. They'll have to have a digital currency, because there won't be enough paper to print it all.

PS As to ‘world’s best profile picture’, alas & alack opinions differ 🤭 (tobyrogers.substack.com/p/thinking-points-july-25-2023/comment/21285805)

Ohh, btw: a pure d-lite of an essay, at much-sought 2E level (educational & entertaining). Footnotes I’d signally single out 🤸
As for the commenter who disliked your profile pic, he had probably missed the point so often in life, that he thought you were making fun of him.
And thanks for the kind words about the essay!
He‽ 🤨 <-- youtu.be/svkgOsr7pUc
