Nothing has happened in 2 years that is significantly different than the last 10.

And the plurality of Americans are unhappy with the economy, which is a global problem.
It's amazing that smart people can be so oblivious to what's going on around them.

It's amazing that smart people can become brainwashed by their media diet of choice to believe in one fear mongering conspiracy after another.

Me: okay guys, let's not be emotional and use "the sky is falling hyperbole."

JB: ad hominem attack, conspiracy theory, emotional response

Me: it's amazing how people fall for conspiracy theories
JB: after two emotional comments accuses me of being emotional.

You seem smart. But your inability, or unwillingness, to consider other perspectives is surprising.

There are individuals, governments and NGOs all over the world trying to destroy the US. Some are intentional others are incompetent and misguided. Even within our borders there are millions working toward our collapse. They view destruction of America as saving the globe. I suggest reading “The Righteous Mind” by Jonathan Haidt for a better understanding of moral psychology. He is a political psychologist who worked for the Democrats so you can be sure it isn’t written from a crony capitalist point of view.
Love the sky is falling conspiracy theory. The "destruction" of the United States would not be very good for anyone. Continue to keep building your concrete hole in the ground and stocking it with supplies. I'll continue to live my life.

It won't be good for you and me. It will be great for the Bill Gates and Anthony Faucis of the world. I will continue to live my life too, but you are living yours with your head buried.

You sound like the last CA I flew with that had cashed out a huge chunk of his savings that were previously in stocks to buy gold. Something tells me my 401k will be fine. But it's more fun I agree to run around acting like the end is near. There always needs to be a good crisis.
