I know who I am and what and WHO I do and do not enjoy.  I find myself more "agreeing" with the president's bullshit than I feel comfortable with.  This whole "by Easter" thing, while it was done wrongly (I feel this president does most everything wrong simply because he is evil and when a person is evil, that evil shows through even if you are trying to do good) I feel it was a goodwill message to America...  "America, our country, was not meant to be closed."  (Snip.)

Wrong?  No, it's correct.  America is now on a bad foundation of The Economy..... one that is based on a model that simply does not exist in nature or "reality" at all.  That model is UNENDING UPWARD TRAJECTORY.  There is no such thing.  NOTHING can exist in a perpetual state of RISE.  It doesn't happen.  That's called ALCHEMY.  But now, since we are so dependent on that, Collective We cannot even pause for a month without a virtual threat to our entire way of life.  

A month as opposed to a year.

You are more loyal to the hedonism of the unraveling than you are loyal to doing what you need to benefit your country.  Thus, you resist the turning of the Turning.  You want Trump’s fantasies to be true, even as you reject them in your saner moments.

There cannot be an unending upward trajectory.  The hedonism of the Unraveling must end as the cycles progress.

Grow up.  The crisis will end when we beat the bug.  This may be a vaccine, a treatment, or learning to get the economy going while in isolation.  These things are more likely to happen in a year than a month, slower if people are reluctant to work towards these goals.

This is precisely why Nomads cannot be in charge during the Crisis.  They are incapable of grasping the ideals which provide an anchor for the country.
