this isnt something that just started happening within the last year, the last five years, the last ten years. this shit has been coming for a long time. the system is fucked. i see no one fixing it. no point in getting all puffed up about it. we had a good run, the country is on its way out, thats all. it wont be tomorrow, it may not be in our life times, but this is the middle of the downward spiral of america. when did we peak? when did we start going down hill? i dont know. but im pretty sure its over with. we wont go out in a big bang but a slow low whimper.
