Watching the Economic Collapse from My Comfy Chair

Everybody got a comfy seat to watch the collapse of the system? It should be a good one. The Euro-Socialists have blown their wad on Greece - the lesser of all the impending economic collapses. Next up - Italy. A country too big to fail and too big to save. Sort of like California here in the States.

Unless the West stops spending, right now, virtually every single country is going to default. There is no way the United States can ever honor 15 trillion in debts. Plus the entitlements of course. No way. Unless there are massive cuts and government shrinks. And this will never happen no matter what asshole occupies the big chair in the White House. Too many special interests want government cheese. Politicians will never cede power. Too many dependent on government welfare.

The United States government is demonstrating its massive stupidity in putting their latest hopes and dreams on the so-called Super Committee. 6 GOP and 6 liberal asshats are supposed to make a decision where the Congress didn't have the balls or intelligence to make. So what happens? More gridlock. Just in a smaller group. Shocking.

The "Occupy" movement is showing the world what Democracy looks like. It's why this country used to be a functioning Republic. Democracy sucks. Loving the violence from the Occupiers though. They haven't a fucking clue what they are railing against but between puffs on a blunt, flinging a Molotov and abusing some stupid co-ed they are liberals, Islamists, communists, Marxists and Socialists most favorite useful idiots.

Too bad the Occupy movement is populated by morons. Instead of venting their jealousy against Wall Street they should occupy central banks, Congress and the White House. Government policies, regulations and general socialist meddling is what is fucking up everybody's world, not just 35-year old Stan who is tired of living in his grandma's basement.

It is a shame that the people of this country are so divided. The Tea Party protested big government and was co-opted by the GOP. The occupy movement wants bigger government and is co-opted by the left. The parties and movements benefit nobody except the fucking political class.

The political class loves these movements. The social chaos will provide them with even more reason to destroy our liberties and freedoms. You know, all in the name of safety. You would be livid knowing how much shit the government and businesses know about you. Or more to the point, you should be livid. But most sheeple are happy as long as their iPhone works and they can still get a cup of shit from Starbucks. Your privacy is gone. Done. Read the 14 news ways the government is watching you.

I think the only way that the government can be controlled is if we can starve it. The Constitution used to limit the government but the political class no longer follows it. Allow me to venture into a fanciful scenario: A system collapse will reset the country but it is a gamble that a new republic would be formed. Unfortunately the leftists have been planning for this collapse for years (right Francis?) and would probably try to take over ala National Socialist ideology. There would most likely be an ideological civil war. No way the South would follow Marxist or communist doctrines. Plus we have all the guns.

The world is burning. It is not yet a full inferno but we are getting close. I'm watching intently from my comfy chair. The governments will lose control one day. It will be quite a show.

=======================

I made a nice chunk of soon to be worthless U.S. dollars from my Halloween Squidoo lenses. I created 35 costume lenses. 28 were mostly useless it turns out. 4 collected a few sales. 2 did really well. 1 was exceptional. Well worth the effort though if the 1 did not do well it might have been a waste of time. I assume Halloween will be celebrated next year so it's nice to have them at the ready.

I am working lenses for Christmas but have yet to really find a successful technique. Simply going to Amazon and creating a lens on the most popular toy is shit as every stay-at-homer is working in that sewage. There are lists upon lists of "popular toys for Christmas 2011". Same goes for electronics. Housewares. Etc. I have to figure out an angle for products that people aren't working. And try to make it informative and interesting too. Just putting up a photo and affiliate link for puppy play poo is not going to work.
