The world I live in has been changing at a rapid rate for the last four years.\u00a0 The COVID and George Floyd strategies combined with the Biden administration\u2019s green revolution, Ukraine war, the opening of the border to all illegal aliens and finally the intelligence agencies use of extreme surveillance and control over the social media platforms have truly changed the way of life in the United States in a fundamental way.\u00a0 I guess this is what Barack Obama meant when he talked about fundamental change.\u00a0 He meant destroying the middle class and eliminating law and order.<\/p>\n
But we\u2019re still here.\u00a0 Where could we go?\u00a0 Europe has been similarly wrecked.\u00a0 There is no other place.<\/p>\n
So, I often wonder how life will adapt under these new conditions.\u00a0 What was the saying back when everyone thought overpopulation would be our downfall?\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ll all be a little hungrier by and by.\u201d\u00a0 Well, that sounds likely.\u00a0 Both here and in Europe the powers that be are eliminating farmland, making farming more expensive and making things like fuel and fertilizer much more expensive.\u00a0 So, let\u2019s assume the hungrier idea is likely.\u00a0 Of course, many would note that currently obesity is running rampant so how could we be going hungry?\u00a0 On the contrary, obesity and malnutrition can certainly coexist.\u00a0 Junk food can be pretty cheap.\u00a0 But it means shorter life and ill health.\u00a0 So healthy food will be scarce, unless you count crickets.<\/p>\n
We already know that energy in all its uses will be very expensive.\u00a0 This means homes will be less comfortable, travel will be less frequent, work will be closer to home and all goods that have to be shipped will be more expensive.<\/p>\n
Jobs will be harder to find and professional work will be scarce.\u00a0 Learning trades will once again be a very important avenue for employment.\u00a0 Colleges will fail on a grand scale.<\/p>\n
And the existence of law and order will be on a case-by-case basis depending on who is in power in the local area.<\/p>\n
Put all those things together and what kind of a place will we be living in.\u00a0 First off, I don\u2019t it will be one place.\u00a0 We\u2019re already seeing different areas of the country diverging from each other.\u00a0 California and other areas that encourage the importation of large numbers of illegal aliens are already becoming very third world with large homeless encampments, very high crime, high taxes and businesses fleeing to safer areas.\u00a0 Whereas places like Florida that discourage crime, illegal aliens and high taxes are booming and attracting new businesses.<\/p>\n
What this means is that there will continue to be a polarization between the red and blue states and this will cause issues where the blue states will use their control of the federal government to try to outlaw the red state practices that give them advantages over their blue \u201cneighbors.\u201d\u00a0 How this resolves itself over time is an open question.\u00a0 If the red states successfully defend their sane policies eventually the blue states will become moribund and they will even lose their control of the Congress and White House due to population loss.<\/p>\n
But if the federal government uses force to compel the red states to comply with the blue state practices, then we will be headed for the Brazilification of the United States.\u00a0 And at that point it truly will not matter where you live.\u00a0 At that point.\u00a0 We might as well be in Mexico City, Entebbe or Soweto.\u00a0 Our lives will be nasty, brutish and short.\u00a0 And probably better so.<\/p>\n
Well, a lot is riding on this upcoming election.\u00a0 Here we go again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
