Huh. I actually feel like I have a better chance at a long and fairly happy life than about 90% of the people who have ever lived. ---

Right, and there’s ABSOLUTELY nothing anyone can do to improve the situation. It’s hopeless. Worse than any time in the history of history. Worse than World War II, the Depression, and the Civil War rolled into one. Worse than the Black Death, the Mongol Hordes, the K-T impact and both the [Deccan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_traps) and [Siberian Traps](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_Traps). Time to pull out your pistol and put a bullet in your brain and pray for the sweet oblivion of death. Yes indeedy. ---

Nobody expected America to last forever. We actually lasted longer than history would have suggested. But yeah, it’s over. We only recently made the move to an unabashed kleptocracy. The ruling class knows it is over, and their last move is to finish up robbing the corpse and then get as far away as possible. ---

> [@SteveG1](#): > > Yeah, we’re all doomed. Just like always. It’s the end of the world. Just like it’s always been. These are the worst of times. Just like all the other worst times. 😃 Not actually that good of an argument. After all, sometimes nations and civilizations really have collapsed or been destroyed. Sometimes the doomsayers are right. Either because of the “a stopped clock is right twice a day” effect, or just because they really were more perceptive than others. ---

It’s amazing how long the world’s been going to hell in a handbasket without actually getting there. It’s like an invalid that refuses to die.
