Panic

Greetings captive, you are being subjected to some of the most severe psychological torture known to our kind...and I use the pronoun 'our' in the broadest possible context.

Adding to the anxiety level is how we are raised to think in terms of individuality. 'We' or 'us' only exists in a crisis...reality be damned. [Where have 'we' heard that before? Oh, that's right, it's part of the capitalist credo!]

What? Are you confused? Let me rewind a step and ask what part of 'reality is whatever we tell you it is.' don't you understand?

You share this planet with 8 billion others, a fact that is routinely ignored.

Headlines IMPLY that medical professionals are dropping like flies, which does nothing to bolster confidence that our 'f-u pay me' management system has the situation under control.

IF YOU can pay, you (might) be saved, if you can't, good luck.

Terrorism, like corruption, relies on individuality.

Constant reader knows I'm famous for belaboring the obvious but you don't suppose anyone has tumbled to the fact that our heavily politicized education system is woefully inadequate to the task of raising competent, aware members of TEAM humanity? [Why DOESN'T the comply or die education system center on the fact we must cooperate with one another if we are to stand the slightest chance of surviving? Don't suppose our educators are DUMB, do you?]

In a nation with 300 million working-aged adults, what are you supposed to make of 3 million new claims for unemployment?

Um, we hear that the nation's largest employers [the ride-sharing services] are both in denial that with the planet on lockdown most of it's 'members' have nothing to do. How can that be their problem? Working for either is a crapshoot at best. If the work is there then you get paid, no work isn't THEIR problem.

How many of you geniuses 'deduced' that since EVERYBODY is on lockdown the 3 million claim figure speaks to another problem entirely.

What problem is that? I don't pen these for Dummies. Did you arrive at the obvious yet? [Of course you didn't because you wouldn't recognize reality if it WAS biting you on the ass!] (Remember, reality is whatever we TELL YOU IT IS!)

The 'answer' (genius) is 'FAKE NEWS'.

Is the 3 million unemployed figure a lie or is it the booming economy there is absolutely zero evidence of a falsehood?

Perhaps (like victory in the Middle East) we should be asking ourselves what Great was supposed to look like?

How damning is it that most of you are panicked but for the WRONG reasons?

All I can do is point at the conundrums the liars create, it's up to YOU to do the heavy lifting.

Happy Friday, Head!

The first step in solving any crisis is admitting that a situation exists. [Followed by agreeing on the cause so a course of action can be laid.]
