REBUILD DOWNTOWN

*
note: remember how I keep telling you the Supreme Court ruled WAYYYYYY back when that Social Security is just a tax and you are owed zero by the feds if they so choose?  I finally found the case name.  1960 Flemming Vs. Nestor.  Look it up if you don't believe me.  I know you don't WANT to believe, but I'm not a complete tinfoil hat nut.

Even Third World African nations can find the money to add a façade to a few old buildings in the direct path of tourist buses, and have plenty of AK toting soldiers on the street corners to give that bus better odds of arriving at the walled compound without taking rocket fire.  How is that all that different than the US?  We have gotten really good at rebuilding downtown, or at least the business district.  And AR toting jackbooted thugs are everywhere, even if unable to stop any crime.

*

Every time you go out driving, there is construction going on except in the winter.  Do you see this as a sign that we can afford road upkeep?  Why?  Every time you go out driving, you are hitting potholes.  Weeds are always growing somewhere between the cracks in the asphalt.  The construction you see is obviously very little, very late, and very expensive.  The connected rich bitches are sucking the taxpayer dry, paid with bonds that enrich the bankers, delivering substandard material and labor.  Look at the clothing sold at Wal-Mart.  So threadbare that it won’t last past several washes, placing increased demand on farmland for more cotton for replacement.

*

That is how they make buildings and roads now ( and sewer pipe and power poles and etc. ).  Substandard materials costing extra ( just like our food ).  Failing so fast you need more substandard material-which we are running out of- to replace them quickly.  And that is just upkeep and kabuki theatre facades to hide the rot.  Along comes a hurricane, for instance, and then it isn’t just upkeep but replacement.  Where does it come from.  It isn’t just money-we know how to print that as quickly as we can before the PetroDollar falls.  It is energy and materials that are not available. 

*

This is nothing new, obviously.  Your empire doesn’t slow collapse for fifty years without leaving some pretty obvious trends and wreckage.  The question is, how has it stayed in place this long?  My answer would be, the same as in Africa.  You invest just enough in the place to keep the colonial resources extraction going ( the spice must flow ).  Those road and building face-lifts?  That costs very little in the great scheme of things, giving the colonists the illusion all is well to avoid rebellion.  We are the colonial peasants, by the way.  In case you kind of ignored that one.

*

Colonies sending tribute is of course nothing new in the history of civilization, once the Agricultural Age started.  What is relatively new is the scale-globally for the last 500 years.  What is new today-the hollowing out of the imperial city itself.  Resource decline, and hence the amount of tribute declining, has been going on for some time.  But the last twenty years has seen a huge increase in the amount of cannibalization the imperial country has seen.  It is feeding on itself to survive ( with the 1/10^th % thriving ).  I trust you aren’t ignoring this, because you are one of the affected. 

*

The hollowing out began in the Seventies, but that is ancient history.  The more modern phase began with globalization on a grand scale.  That started about the time the old stock market drew in the suckers for the broad-banding of the country.  Fiber optics uses far less energy and resources, and with the Siberian oil flowing to us and Clinton skimming off the last Social Security surplus, we were able to wire the country together for the Internet connection we needed.  Why?  That was the Command And Control system to allow globalization to function.

*

Just In Time inventory was NOT new, an American came up with it long before our economic collapse.  The Japanese perfected it with computerization.  The Internet allowed the system to thrive globally.  All those schmucks that lost their retirement funds to WorldCom and Enron funded the Internet.  Which was really just about robotizing most jobs.  It had little to do with the Information Superhighway ( remember that propaganda piece? ).  This is a perfect example of investing as little as possible in the colony to keep the resources flowing.  But it isn’t going to a foreign superpower now controlling us.  It is going to the top elite who are no longer residing in the craphole of the country they are exploiting.

*

You see all the issues we have nowadays and you see collapse coming.  As well you should.  But my question is, why do you see this state of affairs lasting all that much longer?  Because our colonial masters aren’t going to invest any more into our infrastructure than they have to.  Our country would already be a failed state if the resource flow had stopped.  Look at fracking oil and gas.  You see it as “energy independence”, or at least “kicking the can down the road”.  I see it as the last prop to our economy.  Do you think the Nazi’s liquefying coal was energy independence?  Of course not.  It was the last grasp at any energy after they lost the Romanian fields of conventional petroleum.  Same with fracking.

*

Once our masters tire of pacifying and supporting us, as the last of the wiring is extracted from the foreclosed house, it will all fall to crap very quickly.  Rawles thinks we have thirty years to Peak Oil ( seriously ).  Greer thinks overpopulation will still allow a mellow stair step collapse, without surplus resources.  If you listen to them you’d believe that Rome was never sacked or depopulated, that the Mayans never ran out of food from drought.  The center cannot hold, bitches.  A very thin stick props up our entire edifice. 

*

The PetroDallar allows us to finance our spending.  Fracking gas allows our Internet to function.  Our Internet allows global trade, which delivers all the life saving functions we no longer supply ourselves.  We are Britain during WWII, so weak and broke we depend on the kindness of strangers to feed us ( remember that “over half of our artificial fertilizer is supplied from overseas” fact?  If the dollar is no longer king, we can’t buy fertilizer to feed ourselves, nor diesel to transport it ).
