Unemployment Checks

There is a myriad of memes and comments showing disdain for those receiving large unemployment checks. In some cases, those receiving unemployment checks are making more than they were while working. This has caused a virtual uproar among the general public, well it's mostly those ardent conservators that still believe America is the land of the free, and the free market is alive and well. Wake up! It is better for the elites to sow division among the peasants (you and I) because divided we fall. Yet, they are united in their nepotism. We have cause for righteous indignation; 43,000 taxpayers who make well over a million dollars a year are/have received $1.7 million stimulus check:

"While wealthy Americans are not eligible for the comparatively measly $1,200 stimulus checks that are now being disbursed to many Americans, they are on pace to do even better. 43,000 taxpayers, who earn more than $1 million annually, are each set to receive a $1.7 million windfall, on average, thanks to a provision buried in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act."

Stop living in the boomer America. That place no longer exists thanks to boomers. We are entering a new age. Rather than fighting over pissed on bread crumbs, we should be pushing the government to do the right thing, which is to implement a debt jubilee (yes, clear all debt because that is actually the Christian thing to do) and eliminate the income tax.  Otherwise, we the people are the ones getting collectively screwed. 

Nothing Will Ever Be The Same

April is going to be the month where the truth is unveiled.  Unemployment rates are at an all-time high, and people are now defaulting on payments. This will have rippling effects. Couple that with COVID-19 and things begin to look grim. I'm not going to sugar coat it by saying everything is fine and don't worry. Reality is we should all prepare for a rough year. The world is changing quickly. Yesteryears normal is tomorrow's ancestor. However, this doesn't mean we should feel even an ounce of despair. I look at this as a purging. Events like these make people stronger and focus them to reprioritize their lives.

It is a concern of mine that sentiments for socialism will begin to rise exponentially. Those who are quick to criticize people who are gravitating toward this extreme are equally as blind. Our system in America has created a power structure where businesses literally own politicians, which means we have a quasi oligarchy. Unfortunately, we have all been lied to so much we don't know who to trust, and our education system hasn't taught us to think, making  us dependent on their authority. Thankfully, this situation gives us time to reconnect with the truth. Hard times make for strong people. Strong people are self-sufficient. Yes, we are entering a new age, but I believe it will be for the better.
