What was the saying? Another day, another dollar? Where is my dollar? Hmm, then again, while in full youth, I thought the saying was super, as I have aged, I realize... even you you got a dollar a day, someone else will get most of if, or even all of it. That is, if you are lucky. If you aren't "lucky", you will owe more than you get. I heard, if I have some doubts, that people who are dying are dragging and average (in the US) of ~$63k debt into the grave with them. That's... not bound to end up good. Even with a rigged system, central planning, and all else they have in the works to make everything seem good.
I sort of think about it as them building strong windows and barring the doors, trying to hide the fact that people are living underwater. Only, how strong are those windows, how watertight and well secured are the doors and other exits? How deep can the dwelling be underwater before it becomes absolutely obvious that there is a huge problem. It won't be reparable, it's already too late.
Who has enough supplies, and wits, to make it to the surface when it all fails? Even those who have supplies, or wits, even both... they won't all make it. Although it will be much harder on the solid middle and upper classes. The poor and lower middle class are used to having to stretch what seems like nothing. Often living in a pseudo criminal style as is. Sure, the upper classes live a criminal style too, but a white-collar, even union-developed one, that seems legal on the surface and none really dig because they are all in on it now. The upper classes aren't used to having to get their hands dirty, literally or figuratively. Harsh reality, but one of their own making.
I can't say it's always been that way. I suspect there have been better and worse times. Once the government was seen, and made to be, a tool against justice, through size, graft, etc, and government became large, the gig was up. It's how it always goes. The intent, of government, bureaucrats, has always been making well off nothing, and taking bribes on top of it. It's why it's wise to keep them small. They'll still rob you, there just won't be as many thieves.
Oh, whatever. Today is a new day. I'll get a shower in, get the trash out, and wash a few blankets again. I forgot them in the dryer, if I thought they should be dried. Nope, a bit moldy smelling. Not sure I can fix that, but I'll give it a shot yet today. As well, perhaps hit the dishes.
Oh, I found several saint medals. The writing is so small. I will be looking for a magnifying glass. One, I am pretty sure, is of Mother Mary. The other one I can't be sure. I have one of St. Michael. I am not sure if these are to be worn alone, or what the... etiquette is. I will, most likely, need to research the second medal. At one time I would have been a bit squeamish about wearing a medal of Mother Mary. That has changed. I have, in the last five years (?or so?) come to a good relationship with her. Not long after I... learned to love my earthly mother, or better. Go figure? *smile*
A few things for the day. Good day and Blessings. If you go to church, always feel free to include me in your concerns... hopefully just as a scruff. If you feel I am doing you wrong, feel free to talk to me first. If you want to pray for me to be more holy, or come to holiness at all? Be my guest? I'll join you if you happen to stop by. I'll never be sharp enough. Uhrm? Oh, ah. Amen!
