Hello everyone, thank you for tuning in to Episode 221 of Call to Reason. Today, we'll be discussing the question: Is America done? This loaded question has sparked divergent opinions. While some believe America is nearing its end and face numerous problems, others remain optimistic, emphasizing our ability to persevere. Personally, I lean more towards the former view.
Amidst the ongoing news and general pessimism, it seems crucial to focus on strategies for happiness and survival. Those who believe in America's resilience may adopt a "no big deal, we'll get through it" mindset. However, I find this approach lacking. On the other hand, those who share my concerns hold a more cautious perspective, prioritizing preparedness over complacency.
In either case, it's essential to recognize the importance of having a strategy for the uncertain future. Your survival and that of your family may depend on it. I'm not just referring to weathering financial crises; there are more significant issues at hand. It's crucial to assess your level of interest in securing a way out of this sinking ship, as your actions can make a difference.
Consider this: if conditions worsen, the government will prioritize security over individual liberties. They will enforce curfews, call in the National Guard, and escalate suppression if needed. Disrupting commerce is not taken lightly, as it undermines the country's economic foundation. To avoid drastic measures and maintain control, they will pacify dissent and manipulate public opinion.
As resource realities become evident, discontent rises. Even the distractions and comforts provided by consumerism can't hide the increasing financial burdens and lack of affordable housing. It's time to acknowledge the creeping realities and question our complacency. We must decide whether to be deniers or to take action.
I recently had a conversation with a frustrated individual named Bob at a big box hardware store. Bob expressed a sense of working for nothing, feeling ripped off. His sentiment resonated with many working Americans who believed in the social contract that guaranteed a better future through hard work. However, this contract has been broken, leaving countless people disillusioned.
If the ship cannot be saved, we must have a plan B. We cannot rely on a government that prioritizes its own security over the well-being of its citizens. It's crucial to prepare for potential upheaval and ensure our own survival. While I believe in helping others, I won't enable those who refuse to help themselves. Those who disregard warnings and suffer the consequences should not expect assistance.
In conclusion, I urge you to consider your own motivations and aspirations. There are certain aspects I cannot discuss openly, but if you seek further guidance, feel free to reach out. I, too, am taking necessary precautions and preparing for uncertain times. Hopefully, I am wrong, and America will find a way out of this predicament. However, the stakes are high, and we must be proactive to avoid the consequences of inaction. Take care.
