Many
Americans lost everything in the Great Depression… many still were scarred for
life…Plus, a Guide to Coping w/ Martial Law!
Life
was rough.
And, no surprise, politicians and banksters made it rougher.
And, no surprise, politicians and banksters made it rougher.
Fear
is one of the strongest of human emotions. It's the go-to emotion when the
elites want to exert more control or simply to distract your attention.
So
when government men tell you we're on the verge of a pandemic that will alter
life as we know it and then begin clamping down your liberties in order to
alter life as we know it and the people comply by passively accepting the
changes and making runs on toilet paper and hand sanitizers, the government has
you right it where it wants you.
Governments
rule by deception. Otherwise they could not rule at all. Governments use economic,
social, moral and legal fictions to twist rational thought into self-sacrifice
and the destruction of individualism. Men, by nature, do not willingly
volunteer their property, their labor and their being into servitude. But they
are manipulated by an esoteric system based upon word manipulation.
The upshot of this period, however, was it instilled in many Americans values that proved useful.
To name a few…
Self-reliance, frugality, hard work, community, mutual aid, charity, individual ingenuity….
And, most importantly, deferred gratification.
Recessions don’t just serve to reallocate wealth to more productive areas of growth…
There’s a psychological aspect as well.
In a healthy downturn, things slow down just enough for people to reflect and reevaluate and come together… without breaking their backs completely.
The emphasis on competition ticks over slightly to cooperation… and balance restores itself.
Recessions serve as a natural and seasonal mindset adjustment… as nature has always intended.
All animals must adapt to “winter time” after a hot and vibrant period of growth.
Hubris makes us think we’re different.
So what happens when we try to force the sun to keep shining?
Fast-forward to 2008…
Endless Summer Parties
In 2008, similarly, Americans took a MASSIVE hit.
People lost homes and jobs.
Many of them couldn’t find work for months.
Few emerged without scars.
Except this time, the economy received no shortage of “juice” in the form of cheap money.
Rather than the economy adapting to the pullback and retracting…
Americans pulled out their credit cards and spent their way through the downturn.
Rather than debts getting paid off, they ballooned even bigger.
Rather than delay gratification, our lust (and addiction) to insta-gratification became even stronger.
Cheap money created an environment where efficiency and mindless consumption trumped fiscal sustainability.
And the wild beast became so fragile that all it would take was a shock… any shock would do… to start seeing cascading failures in the system…
And the masses -- left and right alike -- would eventually be united in their calls for one thing:
Bail
Out Everyone!
“Bail out workers,” Jordan Weissmann writes in his
Moneybox article Bail Out Everyone.
“Bail out families. Bail out states. Bail out businesses. Do it now.”
And Trump Bucks are coming.
Of the potential bailouts (requests and proposals), we’re looking at…
Banks: $2.5 TRILLION
Airlines: $50 Billion
Amazon: $5 Billion
Elon Musk: $5 Billion
Hotels: $150 Billion
Restaurants: $145 Billion
Manufacturers: $1.4 TRILLION
Malls: $1 TRILLION (Ha!)
Beer and Candy: $5 Billion
American Citizens: $4.3 TRILLION
This is, by the way, without even mentioning the effects the virus is going to have on mental health… the healthcare system… and the day to day lives of every single American alive today.
How bad could it get?

A Final Note…
It’s not every day the police
announce that they will no longer be doing their jobs. So when it does
happen, it tends to cause some
chaos, to say the very least.
It may be hard to believe, but
that is precisely what the Fraternal Order of Police in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania declared on Tuesday.
With the Coronavirus sweeping the globe, we are beginning to
see fundamental changes to our daily lives Towns are shut down, and roads are
empty. In many places, there have been orders to stay indoors under the penalty
of law.
Without so much as a vote, we have seen
a portion of the bill of rights disappear overnight. Freedom of assembly,
travel, and association are gone. Meaningless if they can be so readily taken
away.
We have all witnessed just how fast
things can change when society feels itself in danger. The order of things, the
world we thought unchangeable, shifted under our feet in a matter of weeks...

Both my parents went through the Great Depression & I feel their generation came out much stronger & self reliant than today's young people. I fear for them as they're so used to being coddled.
Excellent resources!
I feel bad for the many Americans put out of work through no fault of their own. I think many governors may have gone overboard, stopping all commerce without thinking through the consequences.
Martial law may be necessary once citizens learn their $1200 checks must be repaid back to 'their' gov't!
