Stretching and checking.

Better?  I think so.  I've been awake for an hour or so, can't be absolutely sure, though I think I am going to be okay.  I probably need to take it slowly and not push for a few days, keep on medicine, and eat as properly as possible.  Other than that, I think I'll do it.  If this isn't a simple case of not being awake enough to know.

As I was waking, I remember what a lot of the problem has become.  Now, economic turmoil was caused by government and private malfeasance.  Have no doubt.  People and governments began betting on losers and rolling up the costs of their gambling into the cost of business.  To help paper over unsustainable losses, they began also stealing from the middle and lower classes through all sorts of government and private schemes, often working together against us, covering each other at our cost, and continuing to gamble.

However, they weren't the only ones.  Every government and large corporation, at this point, in every nation who could bandy coin to toss in the fires of gambling loss have played.  Shouldn't their be a "house", one that doesn't lose?  Well, yes, except they became just as hooked on gambling.  You can see how corruptions magnified at that point, can't you?

As resources, and real wealth, dwindled, shifted, and fought to escape those who tried to maintain it, an economic war broke out.  Allies and enemies switched as fast as a micro-current in a hurricane catches a leave and alters it's heading.  China was on our side, until they thought they would build a bank and market their currency, a currency unwisely allowed to be marked to our currency and for too long protected by that.  The oil states were making a killing on China undercutting our currency to produce as slaves.  When China decided to go their own way, they were shown that there is no other way, and the oil states were left with glut and are now choking on their alliances.

Now, no one is really on the side of the American middle class, not even itself.  It was, it seems allied with a bruiser of a mix of government and big business that has gambled and warred too much to leave them much of a cut and is continuing to rob them blind.  No amount of capitulation will help, those actors don't believe they need it.  And, if Americans keep voting as they have, those actors are right.  Yeah...  What a wake up call.  That is what I saw as I bumbled out of bed.

Still, don't really care.  No headache, no body aches, only slight oddities in body temp.  I'll work on working inside the cave, if I can, tonight.  A shower, in time.  Laundry, a load or three.  And dishes, if I can get on it.  Later.
