Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

Why you gotta educate SPED kids anyway? Those retards would only be able to get a job through DEI anyway, and we ain't having no more of that.

They should just go in the streets begging and selling pencils like they did back when 'Merica was great.

I'm just gonna get my popcorn and point and laugh at people with kids as education takes a hit... Not my problem **shrugs**

(and yes, I favor education. But at this point 51% of the country made a choice and they have to live with it. IDGAF that between this and the two COVID years, we're gonna have a whole generation of kids who are noticeably stupider as a result. Maybe I'll regret this choice in 30+ years, but currently its hard to muster sympathy/empathy here.)

The overall impact tot the nation is that we end up with more people who can’t reason beyond a 6th grade level. That leads to more people who think politicians like Trump are smart.

Someone should really talk Dump into sweeping away the ADA with an EO stroke of the pen.
 
Doing some dystopian speculating over my lunch.

At this pace I could see, probably 50-100 years from now, major American cities and their suburbs will effectively be like walled-in city-states. These city-states will be controlled & run by the corporations who employ the worker drones fortunate enough to live there and the management class lucky enough to afford an education. The rural areas between cities will be travel-at-your-own-risk zones, occupied by violent, roving gangs of uneducated savages who descended from the folks we've economically ignored & cast aside since the early 2000s. They've lost all sense of their humanity and eek out an existence by robbing & raping anyone unlucky enough to fall victim to them. There are no rural cops, because there's no funding for them. Besides, they're needed in the cities to keep the worker bees scared and showing up to work, lest they become a rural Untouchable.

Think Fahrenheit 451 meets The Stand, and throw in the Reavers from Firefly. It's essentially neo-feudalism, or another spin on the Western Roman Empire's gradual demise by a combination of weak, megalomaniacal federal leadership & a thousand Germanic raider cuts.

That’s almost what these Yarvin fantasists we’ve put in charge want.

I was checked because I was 22 and on my customs form, I wrote “banker” as my job because I worked for a bank and couldn’t think of an answer short enough to fit on the form. Add to that, two weeks in Europe, sunburnt, and travel weary…

Msp agents are the worst. I flew internationally every month for years and it got so old. Esp after I once accidentally left a banana in my bag from the office in London.

When I moved back to US, the packing company had to pack all my stuff. When they heard I was in msp, they laughed and said I’d be weeks behind my colleagues receiving things- because msp would go through every box and every item of clothing

So, what Russia is today?

Russia has always been feudal. Even during the Soviet years, when the government owned every "collective" (aka state corporation). The only thing that really changed was centralizing all power within the Kremlin, and Stalin's forced industrialization of the country (heavily aided by the United States, mind you) to fuel the Red Army war machine.

Then in the 90s the oligarchs came in, sent their private armies of hired goons after each other, and the eventual winners bought up the means of production at bargain rates. Yeltsin pounded vodka and Putin kept his glass full while Russia's cities were Bratva war zones. Eventually Putin ingratiated himself enough with Yeltsin and the oligarchs to get tapped as the next Tsar, while the oligarchs are the boyars.
 
To be honest I'm still thinking there will be a full breakup of the states and it'll be ugly, way too many guns in too many people's hands for it not to be. The billion dollar question will be who can organize the best, and I don't think any of the oligarchs will be able to because they're inherently too greedy to effectively organize something.

On a national level? No. On a local level? Yes. On a regional level? Maybe.

TBF, if everything does start to fall apart, it’s highly likely that other countries will be getting involved, Russia and China especially, though Europe and the UK will too.

Also, Canada probably blows up too. The only thing holding them together right now is hatred for the US and maple syrup.

Oh, Gen Alpha is completely and totally fucked. Lost 2 years to COVID unless they were bright enough to get through remote coursework. Now getting boned by lawless Republicans. And they haven't even started other major cuts to higher ed funding yet.

The rich kids will be fine, of course. The 80-90% of the country not fortunate enough to afford private college prep schools is hosed.

Gen Algorithm voted for trump at a rate not seen in the youth vote in decades. T&P.
