Shouldn't you be out on a ledge somwhere op?
Tried to figure this out... if you meant "qp," then my rebuttal is unless its calling out reality to the masses, no.
Although I do feel a bit edgy sometimes, its from the anxiety of processing
so much information in current events, doom, and teaching myself things I should be going to a trade school for.
I have architectural and graphic design skills so I am in the process of building my house on 3D studio Max (rough) and AutoCad 2010 from crude paper drawings.
I have no (now I have novice level) electrical skills, so I am reading military construction electrician coursebooks, researching photovoltaics (I have 344w of potential energy in stacks on my desk.) and other mechanical generators to promote my own self-sufficiency.
I speak publicly to between 10 and 60 people every day, and I have support of nearly every single person I talk to. That is, based on their questions/replies/gratitude. Without divulging any information about myself, I am in a position that I get to travel all over my state and speak to over 500 people a month. I am able to express what is going on around us in an eloquent enough manner to attract the attention of both the wealthy and the destitute. Not only do I speak knowledge I can back up with factual, peer reviewed data, I offer examples discrediting current figure distortion, such as examples from the
Bureau of Labor and Statistics. (Take out the statistics and read the real data presented in front of your very eyes. i.e. below)
red is important,
blue is bullshit.
Unemployment rates for the major worker groups--adult men (10.2 percent),
adult women (8.2 percent), teenagers (27.1 percent), whites (9.0 percent),
blacks (16.2 percent), and Hispanics (12.9 percent)--showed little change in
December. The unemployment rate for Asians was 8.4 percent, not seasonally
adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
Dont get distracted with race and sexuality and all that bullshit who gives a fuck. Its a distraction. Simply take the percentages, (since percentages are bullshit distractions too) and multiply those by our KNOWN number of
281million people in the United States as of 2000, and you get figures such as:
Adult Men: 10.2% of 281million [.102 x 281,000,000] is
28,662,000 officially unemployed adult men.
Adult Women: 8.2% of 281million [.082 x 281,000,000] is
23,042,000 officially unemployed adult women.
Teenagers (both male and female, typically 13-17 years of age [minimum age limit is different in other states]): 27.1% of 281million [.271 x 281,000,000] is
76,151,000 officially unemployed (but are able to legally work) teenagers.
Add those numbers up,
127,855,000 officially unemployed.
127,855,000 / 281,000,000 = .455%
The Bureau of Labor and Statistics
goes on to include the total number of persons who were not counted in the official rolls, due to dropping off unemployment rolls, those who failed to gain work even though they were attempting, those who had been searching for jobs but gave up within 4 weeks of the official polls, or those who are unemployed but arent looking and dont care. I would present those numbers too but I dont feel like it, I overdid my previous example to prove a point. These are figures using 2000 Census data. In 2008 the population estimate was 301,237,703. That means MORE UNEMPLOYED than the figures I just gave you.. 45% unemployment should be good enough to stop and say
I guarantee when the results of last years food crops comes to the dinner table letting main street feel the effects of droughts/floods/frosts/energy prices/disease/et al, and food prices rise 2% due to instituting a new tax in your area, and jobs arent to be had anywhere because we are in a DEPRESSION so people cant afford food, and when those people start getting upset because they fall off unemployment since there arent enough making enough income tax to support the system, and then and then and then......
Then YOULL be on that ledge, but for a different reason. Ill be tucked away in relative safety with some minor creature comforts such as electricity, food, medicines, etc etc etc.
Do you not think the National Guard is going to HAVE to help out the Local Law Enforcement agencies in quelling the peace after the masses figure out that nearly half of America is in their shoes, and then they cant put food on the table?
Now, if you were not referencing me, well...
At least I didnt waste my breath with the example
Im here for YOU!
