To be honest, I really don't care. Seriously. This whole mess is a weeping, open, festering wound spewing pus and bile for decades, and because we
can't deal with any change to our already vulgar and repetitive routines, bandaids are slapped on, instead of cutting this wound out and healing
properly. Bandiads will only hold it in for so long.
I myself don't care either way. I have nothing to lose at all. I do not own a house. I do not have any money invested anywhere. My family has died
off, I have no kin left. I do not have health insurance, nor would I really want it anyway, given what I have seen of the medical industrial complex.
I really have nothing, my life would not change in any significant way should everything collapse into dust and chaos/meltdown develops. And there are
millions like me. People with nothing, who, because we have no desire to get saddled with impossible and enslaving debt, will forever live on the
fringes of society.We have nothing invested in the system, because we could never get a foot deep enough in the system to have a stake in it.
There are more things wrong here with than the medical system. The whole system is broken. We have an economy that expects people to have college
degrees just to work low wage jobs. College degrees which cost money and put people in debt they simply cannot pay off in their measly jobs. Just to
have what are considered the basic essentials to function in modern life (car, cell phone of some form, even a primitive one, internet access) makes
living and saving up for the future nearly impossible for many people. (if you think that a cell phone, internet access, and a car are not required,
try finding and keeping a job without them. Every job I have tried to apply for these days requires online application, even when you walk into their
business. You need a method for them to contact you, and land lines are disappearing. I don't know of anyone who has one anymore. And then when you
live in an area with no or inadequate public transit, a car is absolutely a necessity if you want to work. It's a luxury to find work within walking
distance of home) Job security is a thing of the past for just about anyone not in the medical field. The good old days when a person could work hard,
save money, and then get the life security they need are long gone. it just isn't possible, unless you wish to live in a unibomber shack. Many items
become obsolete within a few years of development, and can no longer be used, new upgrades have to be purchased to make the items useful or even
functional.
What are the options? For the really poor, you are stuck having to nibble government teat to keep from living in a cardboard box. Which drains an
already breaking system, and drains those paying into the system. Then the borderline poverty, where you don't qualify for government aid, but a sick
day or unforseen emergency can break you down into the breadline, because you don't make enough money to save for rainy days. Then there are those
who make enough to live on and save, but spend themselves into ridiculous levels of debt to live "the dream".
The whole system as we know and understand it is sick and diseased, and frankly, it really can't be fixed at this stage. At least not reasonably
fixed. And to be honest, we do deserve it. We can blame the elites, the banks, the government, and corporations all we like, but in the end, we are
the ones to blame. Because the elites, the banks, the corporations, and government would have never been able to take it this far had it not been for
the short-sighted, short term gains thinking, selfish, mindless feeding frenzy of stupidity and apathy of the cattle. People not stopping to think how
in the long term, having everything "now" would cost double or even triple in the future. Or stopping to critically examine and think about the bs
the banks, elites, and governments were feeding us.
So really, I welcome total breakdown. Bring it on. This structure is too termite infested to be saved. Let it burn so we can rebuild. And maybe next
time, we will not build our houses with a cheap and flimsy building material like wood.
