SELICK: This Thanksgiving, thank the vestiges of capitalism
As Thanksgiving 2021 approaches, several provincial governments have announced special lockdowns to keep people from enjoying each other’s company on what is normally a family-oriented weekend.

I can't think of hardly anything that has not been affected negatively since Jan. 20th, 2021..... a date that, IMO, is becoming darker each day. At the rate it's going it could eclipse 9/11 as America's darkest....and that was a very, very dark day....but we survived.
Twenty years after 9/11 Old Glory is still here but worn, torn and faded. Twenty years from now it would not surprise me if our flag as we know her is completely changed....gone....erased from the history books as well. Worse, our beloved U.S. of A. will be gone. In its place a country with new name and a new, non-democratic government. Freedom and liberty will exist only in the memories of the older people.
I don't think I'll be here to see that and for that, thank God. It saddens me the most that my child and my grandchildren will likely have to live under that desolation and tyranny.
God Bless America.

I'm dumb and stupid, so I'll ask a redundant question.
When the electricity goes off, how does one connect to a network w/ depleted batteries and collect one's
crypto to pay for (_Fill in the blank ). We just had a minor sampling this past winter in Texas.
We did a lot of metal detecting here in the area. Some of the most valuable items found were not coins but,
tokens! "Good for drinks, hair cuts shaves you name it. You've seen the cowboy movies, they walk into a bar, order a "shot
of Red-Eye" throw a cart wheel (silver dollar) onto the bar and the bar tender give him change. B.S.!! He gets tokens
back as there was no hard money around!
Shin Plasters or paper money was more worthless the farther you got away from the bank that passed them out
and no one trusted it anyway. Silver was the realm, mostly Mexican, here in Texas until re-admittance in 1870's.
Sorry for the long post but, if one is trying to dodge inflation or whatever for the future, a pocket full of silver dimes
might go a long way. Food for thought $1000 in silver is about 60ish Lbs. So much the rode off with $5000 in silver
in 2 bags!

If there was a energy crisis to the point you couldn't sell crypto. Selling crypto would be the least of your problems.

I remember hearing that people would buy items online in the future, as I went to get a soda while I was waiting for a web page to load thinking "never going to happen, no one will pay for something and wait a week to get it".

we allowed China to do this and it is a matter of national security, unfortunately no one in the Biden administration is going to help us
Every politician has sold off their people for a profit forever. It's a Big Boy's game of "Risk".
This is one of those "you're trapped" moments When things are too good to be true it should always trigger a red flag. Now the world is waking up because no one wants to be stuck to the confines of their living quarters as a result of this pandemic that has slowly turned itself into a political movement

just wait till we find out China has 30,000 + nuclear weapons and thanks to Obama we have less than 3200. he was going beyond what congress allowed and had our nuclear weapons made in active or completely destroyed. meanwhile China was making huge deep underground tunnel systems for nuke subs and other military purposes

3200 or 30000 fired off, the outcome is pretty much the same.
