What life is like in Argentina today is what it's going to be like for us starting this fall/summer:

This guy wrote a great book too. It's an eye opener on what going from 1st world to 3rd world over night feels like, and how to survive the next morning.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Ping.

I watched a youtube video about Argentina in hyperinflation mode, and I was shocked and amazed at the violent comments posted after the video.

Without restating what is so vile and disgusting, I will summarize by saying that there were folks who were planning, if something like that happened in America, to execute violence and mahem of the torture-porn variety on neighbors they were eying right now. Now, maybe that's just a few unhinged weirdos, but folks have been taking in a steady diet of violence via movies and video games. The rule of law keeps them leashed.

I'm just hoping that the general degradation in manners and care for one's neighbor is not a sign of greater ungliness lurking within our culture. I don't want to test that hypothesis, ever.

I’m not going to bother to read that idiots web page if he can’t be bothered to choose a color scheme that is readable. Dark blue text on a dark brown paisley background? It’s madness. It looks like an eye exam color blindness test. Don’t people ever look at their own web pages?
