"Survival of the fittest" really does require the most mental and emotional gymnastics to maintain the "wish I were" "wanna be" "matter more" paradigm.
The first thing I heard today, after hopping in my truck to head home from work, was a report on the new concentration camp in south florida. The report included a sound bite of the governor of florida gloating at how quickly and handily the site was developed and how helpful it is that there's a great runway too. It's the first I heard of it. It only took a moment for me to wonder how long before I end up there. I cannot believe this is how things are turning out. With all of our knowledge and ability, this is the best we can do.
Oh goodie! It's all better now that we'll only have to pay an arbitrary 30% more for goods from China! Whew, glad they saved the day! Long live fascicapitalism!
