Cold Water

We have reached a tipping point already regarding our future creditworthiness. USA, Inc.'s financial statement looks worse than any zombie bank's I've seen. But because it takes so long for a behemoth the size of the US to sink below the waterline once the irreversible final act begins, most people just aren't conscious of how much water is already in the hull. ( Or most people are just brainwashed, drugged out, dumbed down, and purposely ignoring the alarms going off...there's always that explanation. )

I'm not looking forward to the hyperinflationary phase ahead, when all these people are shocked out of their stupors and forced to learn the 100 years of monetary reality they've been ignoring their whole lives... in a week.

"Wake up, kids! Time to take that red pill. Lesson One: In 1913, an illegal central bank was established, and real money began to disappear from the American landscape..."

People hit with that much cold water in the face all at once are bound to be disoriented, irrational and unpredictable.
