And the elites want us to all move into 15 minute cites. No cars to jack, just good old fashioned walking towns with traditional values of armed robbery and assault. With only a police state to monitor your wealth and well being.

And if you think it's bad now, just wait.

Selfishness tends to degeneracy; by definition, it's not sustainable. That is the real core of the problem.

No situation is so bad that it can't possibly get worse.

The Rot that has occurred could not have happened to this extent without the Immigration Act of 1965 and with secure borders.

If there's one aspect of today's message it would be what I've determined along with a few other concerned citizens. Government has gone rogue in just about every state and federal level.

But why? Because they can.

That's what Blockchain and cryptocurrency eliminates by design, central planning, power and corruption. And is why CBDC is a geopolitical agenda. These self-serving mafioso's have deceived us all and don't care because "nobody is above the law." Another deception.

What to do? Negotiate the terms and conditions of each and every piece of legislation related to their so-called regulations. Speaking of regulation, I find it interesting how the proposal for FEDNOW and a US CBDC specify the use of a completely centralized version of the defi systems the reserve is gunning for. Don't forget its dept-slave the USG that which is more than willing to back the CBDC scheme.

It's no wonder the USG has been borrowing and designating our climate change futures to likes of pandering multinational corporations. I mentioned that America was sold a bill if goods that was due us upon receipt regardless of the fact that we the people weren't shown the who, what, when and how. Parts of a deal.

So we can assume this $6.4trillion bill will be divided out to mysterious magic corporations and the usual vagabonds with no plans, pictures, models or commitment to anything we know about or led to believe will be address.

We're supposed to trust in the terms and conditions of this bill that was never properly legislated through the democratic republic. by fast balling laws through (manufactured) crisis protocol.

No wonder these politicians in the house of the people are all lawyers with a PHD in Constitutional law.

The only management skills those in opposition of the American way have is a least desirable one; fear tactics. They've got us pigeon-holed once again. And they're coming to the rescue by relieving America of our god given rights pronounced within our decorations of independence.

Time for a 2.0 upgrade to include digital data as personal property that which conform to existing property rights. Duh!

So we have a whole new County Council this year. Recently they had a vote on something that was made very important, the county needs this, etc. Although, the interesting thing was that none of them had any clue about the nuts & bolts of the subject of the vote. It just sounded like the right thing to do. So with that, it passed. Now there are terms in such bill that are not defined and have to be figured out later. Like seeing if the spagetti is cooked enough to stick to the wall. So who gets to figure this out and make it work? Probably those demon unionized workers who have no guidance to put things together.

"Our contempt for the political class is ecumenical. But we can’t help but notice, how democratic politics has destroyed our own home town"

Are the so-called elite taught at Harvard what democrateia and politeia originally meant when Aristotle named them?

Demo-crateia: rule by neighborhoods (demos), always rich vs poor vs rich; the perversion of popularly elected government, legitimized civil war.

Poli-teia: rule for the good of the whole polis, the entire nation state; the sustainable win-win form of popularly elected government. A politician is, by Greek definition, a statesman (statesperson.)

I suspect that these defnitions are what the so-called elites clearly understand when they use the terms democracy and politics today. I think they know that the hoi polloi (Gr. "the many") have been carefully schooled to interpret those words in exactly the opposite sense.

"Democratic politics" is a contradiction in terms - "legitimized civil war by statesmen." It's comical and profitable to the elite.

Ditto "contempt for politics" - "contempt for government that is a win-win for everyone in the nation." That's a joke that probably circulates around Davos.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the filthy rich...oops...the "elite" decision makers and opinion leaders are carefully taught the true definitions, and that they carefully, gleefully use those words in their legitimized civil war.

Maybe all we can do is TEACH OUR LOVED ONES how these precious words have been twisted to confuse, rob, and hurt the 90%. Then while the "elite" smirk, our loved ones can wince and prepare to comfort and bear one anothers' burdens.

I give you a ❤️ for a [-❤️]. Meaning, I don’t like the degradation, corruption, pandering, meandering, and wholesale abandonment of reason, compassion, and self-indulging ignorance. Where do we go from here? Most of us recognize the problems. We just don’t know how to deal with them because of the inertia and bulk of perfidy.

I think I recall an earlier report that a younger Nancy d'Alessandro (nee Pelosi) won an award for Miss Lube Job in Baltimore back before she went rotten. I believe this occurred sometime around 1959, when her father was Mayor of Baltimore, before the city rotted out from the core.

I could sarcastically ask, "What the hell happened?" but I think I know the answer. After all, you laid it out in the article.
