DR,

First of all, I want to thank you for your thoughts. I'm surprised that more people don't believe your scenario to be possible. I mean your general scenario.....chaos, violence, etc., not a specific "prediction" or call to arms (which I know you are not attempting to do).

I think it's incredibly possible. Look at what we've seen in the past ten months. Did ANYONE ON EARTH think 2020 was going to turn out like this back in 2019?

Look at the hatred and division in this country. Did anyone think the US would be like this 10 or 20 years ago?

We can't even have polite discussion or civil discourse anymore. Conservatives and liberals are too different. There is no coming together. Why should there be? We don't share the same values or ideals, and we have completely opposite views of how people should be "governed." Not to mention almost nobody believes in upholding the Constitution anymore.

So let me get to my point. People are bashing you and Jazz because they don't want to let go of their slice of the corruption. I'm sorry to put it so bluntly, because I know it will offend many people, but almost everyone is a stakeholder in the status quo. Home values, 401k's, pensions, fancy lifestyles funded by a universal credit bubble, fake lives played out on social media rather than in the real world, etc.

Nobody wants to change the status quo. Nobody. Not the "elite," not the citizens, nobody. Statistically nobody, I mean. The only fighting that will occur, in my humble opinion, is to keep the status quo alive as long as possible.

That is why some of you have seen me use the phrase "Go Galt." I am not in the business of fighting for worthless causes, and a nation hell bent on destroying itself ranks right up there in my book.

However, I am not a pacifist.

For those of you who don't believe DR's scenario is possible, I urge you to read these books:

"Gone With the Wind"

"War and Peace"

"A Tale of Two Cities"
