I don’t think you realize just how long it takes to hire federal employees, or reconstitute entire agencies (like CFPB).
tens of thousands of people forced out, thousands of research grants and projects canceled, hundreds of programs stifled…
this is the end of the federal government as we know it, and it will take a generation (20+ yrs) of back to back Democrat administrations to rebuild it. that’s not going to happen.
the oligarchs won dude. kids growing up today will never know how much has been lost. the corporate media will make sure all they know is ‘we’ve always been at war with eastasia’’
Possibly, but I know it’s already happened at least once in our history. We can speculate about the future all we want, but the past is a helpful guide.
I’m hoping that too. either way, I’m not advocating hopelessness or doomerism. I’ll be working harder than ever this year to decouple my life from corporations and govt reliance. community building, strengthening friendships, helping others when I can. it’s going to be a long road ahead and we won’t survive as isolated individuals.
That’s a good goal. I live solo and never had children and don’t want a relationship, so for me, things are fairly simple. It’s nice to not have responsibilities when the wealthy class is trying to seize more power.
I’m just doing what I can for my neighbors in my own little corner of the world. No matter how bad things get, you can always do good with your own two hands.
