Things may get hard for some reason or another,Just went through IKE so i know.Im ex military so i have seen the best and worst of the rest of the world and the US is the best place to be if the shit hits the fan.You dont have to believe me but really ive seen it all.United we stand and theres always the part of rats leaving a sinking ship.It is always good to be prepared though.So do some research ,build a bugout bag,store food water and weapons[not stockpile and go postal] Be ready to hunt,Its really easy now that our technology is more advanced.Im rambling peace yall.
Great points, rambling or not.
ALL nations have rough spots. As Murphy's law states, "What can go wrong, will go wrong." No one can expect things to be sunshine and daises forever. Nothing, no government, can possibly claim that.
The pictures I posted weren't just random inspirational pictures. Each of them was a great struggle that people of the time thought signaled the end our nation.
Instead, great individuals pulled together and made an effort. They got angry, and determined. We overcame the Great Depression, what more do you want?
Think about WW2. Rosie the Riveter (We can do it) represented all the women that replaced men in the work force. Housewives and mothers, putting planes together, rationing everything for the sake of the war. NO ONE would have considered that possible before it actually happened.
I don't think I need to illustrate the power and dedication of the people who fought for Civil Rights. Women, Blacks, Queers, (and other minorities as well) we all have people in our pasts that we owe respect to.
I like to think that bravery, ingenuity, and resourcefulness is in our blood. All those immigrants that came to Ellis Island long ago, they were the daring ones. They were the ones with hope, and ambition. They knew it was going to be hard, but they were determined to scrap it out for a chance at a better life. Now, decades later, in the form of all of us, they had it easy.
Just watch, we'll fall back on a strength we'd forgotten we have. There's always going to be people that stand on the side lines and say that the world is ending. Just the same, we're still here.
