It has been collapsing since the mid 1980's when American plants were
closed and manufacturing was outsourced to mainly China and everyone was
told to go back to school and update their "skill set" for the new
service economy.
Fast forward to 2020, and now the Queen Governors and old fart
Presidential candidates are shutting down the service economy
because...well just because...and telling everyone to sit home and do
nothing. If you are lucky to get disability, welfare, pensions
(ironically from the old manufacturing jobs), or unemployment insurance,
you will do just fine in the new American no economy world.
Everyone else can die, probably of the magic Covid-19. Amazing how the
powers that be who supposedly get Covid-19 (Trump, Boris Johnson) never
seem to die from it. It's a miracle!

I think Trump is more of a moderate. Basically, he is a failed
businessman who blows wherever the money takes him. Vaccine for
Covid-19? Sure as long as he can stay friends with the billionaires like
Gates who are pushing it. Now Trump will really be pushing for the
vaccine since he tested "positive" for the deadly virus. Money talks and
bullshit screams.

Biden also follows the money. He is the system. The system will never
crash until a true revolution happens. Instead of Antifa harassing
people eating at restaurants, maybe they need to go to Washington and
take out the system of old farts. Of course, not that Antifa's communist
system is any better. Probably much worse.
Whatever, America gets what it deserves. Fuck 'em all.

Speaking of the power being on, how much longer can the power company
here in NY (National Grid), take on the losses from people not paying
their utility bills? Since March 2020, National Grid said as long as
Queen Cuomo's Covid-19 edicts are in place (which they will be forever),
they will NOT shut off utilities for people for nonpayment. Basically,
you never have to pay your gas/electric bill, just let it pile up and
your utilities will never be shut off.
How long do you think *that* will last? I suppose National Grid is
waiting for a bail out. Think it will happen?
More than likely, National Grid will start laying off more and more
employees, especially older employees who make more money, you know, the
employees who still have somewhat of an idea on how to keep the power
flowing. Once the older employees are gone, the remaining employees (or
newer younger employees they hire on the cheap) will have no clue on
what the laid off employees did, as there is never any training in
American business. Eventually, there will be rolling blackouts, and
someday the complete collapse. Just like in the movies "Brazil" and
"Idiocracy."
Eh, thank God I am almost dead.
