Greetings Playa, please be patient while the self-serving re-shuffle the deck. I've been asked by management to remind you that Jokers remain the zeroes of the deck and have no worth.
Got ten jokers? You've got ten nothing [and you're playing with twice as many cards as permissible. [The game remains the best hand you can make using only five cards, stud.]
Some of you may notice that all but one of the face cards have been removed and nine more suits have been added (making a flush almost impossible to get.)
Everybody knows there can be only one king so all those other royal posers were put to death for pretending to be a royal. [It's one of the oldest capital crimes on the books!]
Since holding the king is an automatic win, it too has been removed from the improved New Deal deck.
What games will you play with 52 jokers? Use your imagination (it's kept you going for this long!)
Maybe you can rank the suits with the most of one color being the winner? Is anyone else suspicious that six of the nine new suits are some variant of white?
Still, nobody is a stranger to that old favorite, 'the whiter the better', are they?
Yup, life's winners have decided to remove the 'risk' from that game of chance more commonly known as life.
Comply or die are the binary choices life's winners are bent on enforcing. Nobody WANTS to walk a tightrope but your choice in the matter was made for you when you lost the 'birth lottery', [there can only be one king.]
As the quarantine is lifted the 'reality check' being visited upon the surplus population is their own redundancy. It seems life's king no longer sees a 'win' in servicing the planet's literal 'overburden' (to borrow from miner parlance for non-pay material that covers the valuable minerals they seek.)
If the (weaponized) virus doesn't get you, the famine will.
As the fearful shun exposure, the already fragile supply lines so vital to survival will collapse.
Can't re-open the economy if the majority of participants are too fearful to do their part.
What did I teach you about society? Society relies on trust. If you can't trust your leaders it all falls apart, catastrophically.
Naturally, the question becomes one of can this be 'fixed'?
There is no shortage of the self-serving willing to throw the rest of us under a bus for the temporary advantage it gains them. That's why the first thing that needs to be fixed/repaired in...MONEY! [If we don't fix this FIRST it CAN'T be fixed at ALL.]
Banks go 'poof' (as in disappear) and everybody is 'wiped out.' [Not just here but everywhere!] Without unity, there is no 'future', only death without end until everyone and everything is dead.
Not only does nature abhor a vacuum but it also has zero-tolerance for 'imbalance'.
Nature 'out of balance' is nature at odds with itself. [How many of you just had a 'duh!' moment?]
Capitalism is about as 'unnatural' as it comes but it produces amazing results for the INDIVIDUALS that control it.
The problem is we are NOT a species of 'individuals', we are a herd of INTERDEPENDENT animals. Social cohesion is vital not only to our success but to our survival!
Why do you think the feckless are so fixated on 'comply or die'? [Prisons anyone? How much more unnatural can you get? The people running things are f'n circus freaks!]
AFTER the 'money situation' is addressed we need to make some serious changes, starting with our leadership and its utter lack of competence, a problem compounded by the total absence of accountability!
Only people smart enough to crack a hundred on a standard IQ test will be allowed to participate in the decision-making process. This is but a nod towards ensuring competence. We may find that 100 is not enough but one thing is certain, we MUST stop following idiots regardless of how 'wealthy' they are ON F'N PAPER!
Wait a minute, what's that? Take your seats, everyone, they are done shuffling and ready to 'deal'.
Good luck trying to make something out of nothing!

Now, how many of you don't consider man as part of the 'natural world'?
