There's something I hadn't considered when I've ranted in the past about our massive debt and that of other Western nations. That is, what happens to the citizens of a country that pays its bills with borrowed money?
I've hinted about it before when I've said the riots or theft would be quickly quashed if people had to pay for it with overtime hours at work. But there's something larger than just that. Check out this video from Paris, which could just as easily be any of the immigrant-overrun cities of Europe or homeless-infested cities of the US.

People idly film such scenes or walk on by the people on the sidewalk or the ones making a mess out of the street or the ones stealing from the stores. It's all so jejune.
Someone else will clean up the mess. It will be paid for by the government who will get the money from ... somewhere. There's no need to defend the public places, no need to defend order and peace, no need to defend civlization because it will all bounce right back without any effort from us.
Pull out your phone and take a video, you might end up going viral.
The decay is more than just the needles and feces and graffiti and closed stores. It's a decay of morale as well. We're numb. Not comfortably numb, because you know something is very, very wrong. We're just numb to it, our senses deadened by the borrowed money.
Last night on the news, a woman was interviewed about her Kia being stolen for the 3rd time this year. She said these cars need to be taken off the road. But she can't get rid of hers unless someone pays off the loan on it and gives her money for a down payment on something new. She also fanatically stated she'd never by another Kia.
ReplyDeleteZero blame put on the scum of society stealing her car.
Also, last week 7 cars were stolen from a dealerships reconditioning center, and a Porsche was stolen and wrecked, out in Golden Valley. A north west suburb of Minneapolis. Generally considered a nice place to live. Much like my old city. The disease is spreading and spreading quickly.
The final paragraph of the article on these threats:
"It sounds like officers were shocked to find out he had been released from custody in Hennepin County and was back out in the community committing other auto theft crimes."
Crimes biggest cheerleader is the Democratic party. The Hennepin county attorney is bought and paid for by George Soros.
I'm trying to figure out how any large group can support this kind of mayhem, hence these blog posts. The only thing I can think is that debt has bought them the luxury of living in their faculty lounges instead of the real world.
