As I said on another thread today “The country has profoundly changed in terms of demographics, culture and morality. And it seems that upcoming generations have no interest in maintaining the legacy of freedom, industry, security and stability that we have long enjoyed.”

What lies ahead is going to be very ugly for the country.

I agree. At least most on our side won’t be as shocked when it hits.

First there’s the unarguable goal of fairness. Fairness to the different cultures and races. Thus is born the ‘diversity’ buzzword. That’s hard to argue against. Then our government and media look for situations where diversity is not happening. Policies, laws, and ostracisms are created. That’s the birth of fear. I think thousands of management and non-management people don’t say what they think because of a fear of being fired, denied promotion, breaking some law, shunned, etc.

One result is the widely reported moral decay in our education system. I think that’s not because the educators believe the woke stuff, but that they fear opposing the system they are in.

The diversity mania needs to cool down. All races and cultures must ultimately take care of themselves, as opposed to being permanent recipients of help. That might mean that one culture does not, on the average, make as much money as another. So be it. Is it not possible for a culture to choose goals and, by themselves, work toward them?

I’ll add that many people are very concerned about Pensions and Social Security.

Industry? That was given away. Rush thought it a good idea so the GOP rubes bought into it.

Agree. And if there should be a severe market correction other retirement assets could also decline significantly in value.

Few people in this country are sufficiently preparing for retirement. That could be a huge problem, and not that far down the road.

I believe the Elites and power brokers and others are padding their pockets with as much as they can before it all sinks.

There is no way to keep track of the $ billions.
