I hope everyone here is hungry since the banquet of effects is being served.
I’ve created a brand-new portmanteau word to explain America’s descent: kleptocrapocracy, a union of kleptocracy (a country ruled by kleptocrats) and crapocracy, a country drowning in a moral sewer of widespread self-interest in which the focus is masking all the skims, scams, rackets and bezzles in some virtuous-sounding attire, a nation choking on low-quality scrap continually hawked by robocalls, spam, phishing and Huge Tech manipulation.
It’s little wonder trust has actually collapsed in America: the only thing we can trust is whatever’s being pitched is stealthily packaged to mask the self-interest and profiteering of the perps.
The stench from the decomposing carcasses of once-trusted institutions is everywhere. Insiders and the online marketers they pay to cloak their grifting are banking bennies at the expenditure of unlucky debt-serfs who fell for the scam. You require these three expensive medications, and then when the side-effects start, you need 6 more to counteract the very first three, and so on. But trust us; your “health” (heh) is our only concern. Uh, sure.
Why do state universities need to market themselves like a roto-rooter service? Perhaps because they’re both working the drains: state universities are exploiting the trainee loan sewage systems, desperate to recruit another batch of debt-serfs who succumbed to the 3-card monte video game in which a life time of financial obligation is exchanged for a credential of suspicious value.
The competitors for the staying pool of debt-serfs is heating up, so like whatever else in America, the game is now everything about marketing, virtue-signaling, making use of Big Tech manipulation, and so on.
Doing something useful is now for chumps. The opportunities in America are everything about getting abundant by doing, well, nothing: skimming 20% “guaranteed” returns in DeFi, mining cryptos, trading stablecoins, offering volatility, etc– getting rich and then living large on the sweat of the chumps who are still working (bad deluded fools!).
The obvious goal here is for everyone to get in on trading stablecoins, purchasing leasings with DeFi, churning meme stocks, and so on. Why should anybody lower themselves to doing something useful any longer? Why bother?
Labor has been deteriorated for years in speculative-frenzy America. Why work when the Fed has our backs and all those freshly issued trillions are up for grabs? Doing something beneficial is for chumps.
Nobody appears to ask what happens when we’re all minting fortunes off speculative churn and there’s nobody filling potholes, stocking racks or bring bags of QuikCrete to clients’ trucks.
And while we’re on the subject of sewage: if America’s security services and Big Tech oligarchies track everything and everyone, why are we drowning in robocalls, spam, SMS-spam (smishing), and so on? Could not the NSA/CIA track the spammers and robo-callers down and rendition them (warrantlessly, of course) to a hellhole camp in an unnamed nation?
Naturally they could. But the ruination of everyday life is of no issue to the kleptocrats (fly with me to the stars!) or our dysfunctional government, which has actually become nothing more than an invitation-only auction of favors that elevates the unrelenting pursuit of self-interest and profiteering to new kleptocratic heights.
Please do not make the error of anticipating anything to work properly in America. The elements are trash, the parts are on back-order, the people who knew how to make the kludgy mess function just stop in disgust, and we’ll have to return to you about your request, as our service staff just left to introduce an OnlyFans website.
I do not wish to work, I’m minting cash hypothesizing, but gol-darn it, I desire everyone else to wait on me and fulfill my requirements for low, poor quality items and services at not-so-low prices, and if I’m not treated well enough by everybody earning chump-change, then I’ll go crazy, and if that doesn’t pan out, I’ll blame everything on my medications. Accountability is like work– only for chumps.
Believe me, everything’s going fantastic and we’re all going to get wealthier and wealthier till we won’t be able to take it anymore, it will be so terrific. I hope everyone here is hungry since the banquet of effects is being served.
