I am beginning to get annoyed

I cannot remember once saying that Donald Trump would be a good President. 

All I have ever said is that he was a better choice than that psychotic bitch Hillary Clinton.

People out there are trying to take me to task because "I voted for him".

Fuck you all.  I had a choice between absolutely awful choices.  I chose one bag of shit over another bag of shit.  They are both bags of shit.  And please, don't give me that nonsense about voting Green or Libertarian or any other such nonsense. 

Look, regardless of who I would of voted for, I would have voted for a shitty president.  Truth be told, whoever won will just be left holding the bag.

Anyway, at this point, who fucking cares?  Go do something useful and stop screeching.  Your senseless and ceaseless mewling is getting on my nerves.

Failure Mode

Look, when the ship goes down, it takes a while to get there.  Folks scramble around, I would bet that everyone is goofier than hell.

We have an idea that failure mode for a lifestyle and economic/political system is somehow different than this.  We seem to deeply desire a degringolade to fit into our dreams of some biblical Armageddon where those who are wrongly different than us get theirs....and get it good.

Look, the bigger the system the slower the failure. 

The system won't go anywhere for a while yet, black helicopters won't be chasing me through blasted ruins with heat sensors and hellfire missiles.

Nope.  Might have to get used to beans and rice and less meat.  Might have to get a roommate. Taxes will go up, wages will go down, and less is definitely a possibility.

Such is life.
