Post-modernism laid the groundwork for an ‘I have my facts and you have yours’ culture. Or call it ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’. Community has been replaced by an atomised screen time facing our individual echo chambers. Decades of neoliberalism has impoverished swathes of the population, materially and intellectually. There are many chickens coming home to roost.

Seems ostentatious.

Do you really want to carry your lifetime supply of honey around with you every time you move apartment?
What other foodstuffs are you going to buy your lifetime supply of? Dried goods? Tins? You could get yourself a winnebago and fill it with all your lifetime’s worth of food or something, which would make lugging it all around with you forever easier. Just hope nobody nicks it.

This might sound daft but I’ve traveled for years and literally found that mime, the more extravagant the better, works fine.

/u/Donald_Musk is completely oblivious to the privileges printing the world’s reserve currency has bought to the US, and the obligations the US has in order to maintain the dollar’s position.
Where on Earth does the US think it is going to find the money to pay its debts going forward if it isn’t printing the money everybody else is using to buy oil?
Musk and Trump are speed-running the US’s collapse. They are simply nowhere near intelligent or experienced enough to maintain the US’s position of dominance. It is kind of fascinating to watch it play out, kind of horrifying, kind of banal.
Ultimately the American people voted for this. None of the people really destroying the US hid what they were going to do. Chaotic times ahead because if Trump has a plan it appears to be to try and bully his way to global dominance. He couldn’t even manage the taliban.
On a personal level I can say that I take almost zero pleasure in seeing the predictions I and many other people dismissed as ‘doomers’ have made over the past fifteen years (in my case, others longer). I won’t be replying to any messages from previous acquaintances that say ‘hey you were right’.
Let’s see how long it takes for the US to resemble a country like Brazil. The shanty towns are already being formed.
