GETTING OBVIOUS

Western Rifle Shooters Dudes had a piece up, “things aren't getting worse, they are getting obvious”. In other words, things were already this bad, we just didn't acknowledge it until they shoved it in our face. The governors were always as obnoxiously inept and power hungry. People were always this stupid about protecting themselves. They've wanted to disarm us since at least 1917. Our jobs were never as necessary as we wanted to believe, and they force us to work them, or take them away, as they deem fit.

*

The rich used us as disposable profit centers long before 26 million newly unemployed happened at the same time the straw bosses just made an increased 10% in wealth. Bill Gates wanted to kill you from a very young age-say, about eight-but the UN was trying to kill us with vaccines long before he was born. I tried to tell you about Jim Jones, the CIA and measles vaccines in Africa, but you just rolled your eyes and told me to take more prescription meds. How does that theory sound now, as Corona Chan makes you her bitch?

*

I never disagreed that we are useless eaters. I only questioned the way in which we would be killed off. I'm still right about a bio-weapon. That didn't do squat. JIT is going to kill a few hundred thousand times as many people as Beer Virus did. And Peak Oil is going to kill off many more than that. WhhaaaaAAAA???? But Jim, tankers full of crude parked off the ports. And milk is calories if you can get out into the field and lap it up like a dog, before it soaks into the ground. Oil doesn't provide energy if it is left in place from lack of drillers and drivers.

*

I'm not trying to say “I told you so”, because I always knew I was right. I don't know crap about almost everything. But what I study, I go overboard on and devote years to it. You obviously know very little about energy and civilizations, because you still think we have a chance of recovery. You still think terrorists are a bigger threat than our own leaders. Whatever you do? I have no idea about. This is what I do. All the things breaking right now? They were all the crap keeping seven billion of us alive. Ponder on that for a few minutes.

As time goes on it becomes more and more obvious this is about the lamest flu in history. And the worst economic collapse since we started burning carbon fuels ( a bit of an overlap, the weather and crop failures in the eighteenth century touching the infant coal powered industrial revolution, but not enough to negate the generalized statement ). We are going to collapse with oil still in the ground, because we didn't have enough to keep up the levels of consumption normal in the past. The levels of consumption fueling the infrastructure. Banks don't collapse after they run out of money to loan, they collapse while everyone owes them money.

*

But the economic collapse isn't even the concern. It is the cause of greater failures. Like, eating. Societies don't get to choose to not feed their people, and still function. In a tribe, with unity and loyalty born of survival, a famine is survivable to a certain point. In a multicultural empire, there is no unity or loyalty. Sure, some folks shared their toilet paper and went to the store for old crippled humps. Because they think we'll recover, and they will be judged according to the old standards. They don't realize the panel of judges is one guy, named Darwin.

*

I don't know what the stores look like. I haven't been there in awhile. The NOL is picking up her own prescriptions as she has to also go to the bank ( Orange Man check, tax return check, renters checks, draw down excess ). I haven't heard of any panic runs. Because no one wants to be the new TP Guy? Perhaps they are already out of money? Still eating from fast food places? Burned out on Worry & Stockpile? Every person failing to panic a little now is the next potential mob leader.

*

Forget all the theories about how we got here this year. It doesn't much matter ( unless I'm bored and want to ponder it ). All we need to know is that transportation has proven to be broken. That isn't a theory. All the supply chains are broken, and that has broken the domestic one as well. The vast majority of people live in urban hives and much of what we have is a centralized food system. We don't even have butchers in the grocery stores anymore, because it cost a little bit more to pay a professional rather than an illegal alien.

*

The giant meat processors must have seen more money in Beer Virus Checks than in cutting meat, and closed down under highly suspicious conditions. They probably understood their customers would be seeing supply disruptions so there was little point in staying open. After all, how is the centralized animal factories going to make a go of it as vet meds from China are no longer shipping? I wonder if that right there was the straw on the camels back? Our guys saw what happened in China last year as the meds ran out ( over there, from widespread disease. Here, from lack of imports ).

*

The more you look around, the more obvious it becomes how dysfunction our system had become. If we recover from this economic calamity-we won't, I'm certain, but stranger things have happened-I would suggest we all get the hell out of all these dependencies and go back to homesteading. Not the lame ass middle class, being in debt homesteading. The peons scratching at poor grade dirt living in a hovel homesteading. This dependency thing ( and we are all guilty, even if just gasoline for the homestead truck, with YouTube income relying on the Internet ) was a lot worse than we admitted to. It should have already been far more obvious.
