One day it just stopped. We all just stopped doing it. The cruel selfish mean things stopped. No sparkling lights no Angels around. It just finally stopped. Wars selfish meanness the big uglies petered out. They just did.
It's interesting as you remember most didn't notice for a little while.
You know how we used to step over the homeless, and hungry all that. The bad stuff everybody always said they were against yet allowed to keep going. Well it stopped.
I didn't notice,...exactly. Till I went to a Chinese take out joint, and they fed me,...for free.
Police began taking homeless persons home to stay with them. That, and releasing them whom they knew were wrongly busted. Firemen took folks into their stations. Regular folks were doing this as well. Treating others like family. The News became very funny. Fox News MSNBC, and the rest of them jokers was all coming clean about lying to us.
Big fancy stores, and regular shops began giving stuff to folks. I mean not just the poor, but all of us. Like at the Chinese place. Where they told me, "...everybody has to eat". Just so the folks at the shops felt that people needed their stuff to live well so just helped folks out.
Btw I went back to the take-out place, and gave then an "Astro Boy" action figure in thanks. This has caught on as ya know. People exchanging things. Not barter exactly. Just a nice sharing.
Anyway about the big shops. I got a very nice winter coat, and a neat electric train set at Macy's. Aw gee they were really a nice bunch there. Btw none of that "Black Friday" greed festival stuff ever happened.
All this, and somehow as we saw the economy still worked,...better than ever. It wasn't just us. This was happening all over the world. I mean I was watching that BBC special about how our biggest aircraft carriers are being converted into grain ships.
The government, and president, and all had nothing to do with this. The sailors, and farmers just got together figured it out, and did it. A lot of this going on. Like them big Israeli Iranian water purification projects in Africa, and other places.
That, and the techs, and science guys everywhere getting rid of all the nukes. I mean who needs them things.
Mind you as you knows too well. Folks is still folks. We have all sorts of assholes still running around loose. Just not as many, and they're not in change anymore. However I'm thinking of voting for some just to watch them go nuts as they're ignored.
As for "The Day", and what the hell it means.
Well the surprise was that we've been in a post scarcity world economy for over a hundred years. Some of them wonks think longer. We'd been in a hand to mouth tradition for so long we just didn't know how to share. Predatorily capital, and Soviet style communism were signs as to how wrong we were getting it, but were too stupid to see.
So one day it just changed.
We saw.
That, and "saw" basically all at the same moment. Some religious types think it's some deity or other. However the smarty pants online, and TV call it an Evolutionary Awakening. Sort of like when the ability for language suddenly spread all over the place.
They think we've had this cooking up for a long time. Sort of explains them peasant revolts through history. Them, and the Hippies. One day like a genetic dam burst it just happened. Works for me.
Though I'm still holding out for some Angel stuff somewhere.
All I know is I finally got to open a free book store, and doll Hospital.

I love it. Me, I’d like to open a free café in the Temple of the Beautiful Boy. Plus build some emergency homeless shelters using geodesics and octet trusses and such like Bucky tech, with free showers & good hot meals, & some nice pocket libraries.

Yeah Z !!!
It's time to get Bucky's Tetrahedron City Project off the ground and up and running! Long overdue! Fat chance of that happening... huh?

here is a POWERFUL text story about suicide, the Republican suicide going down these next few months
Donald Trump and the Republican Party just committed suicide
By Bill Palmer
Wed Dec 20, 2017
It was a perfect storm of disastrous proportions. After a handful of conservative billionaires spent a generation gradually buying off every last Republican in Congress, a traitor named Donald Trump conspired with a foreign enemy to rig the election, which left the Republicans temporarily in charge of the White House, the Senate, and the House. In so doing, Trump destroyed the GOP’s reputation, ensuring it won’t hold another majority for a generation. And so the donors decided to force the party to commit mass suicide today in the name of one last cold hard cash grab.
There is not an ounce of hyperbole in the above paragraph, and if anyone tries to undersell it to you, they’re lying. Countless Republicans in the House and Senate voted to end their own careers today by voting for the most hideously corrupt piece of major legislation in United States history. It raises taxes on the middle class to the tune of a trillion dollars, explodes the deficit by another trillion dollars, and takes health care away from tens of millions of Americans, so that all of the money can be given to the wealthy instead. Why vote for something so grotesque?
It’s simple, if startlingly evil. Most Republicans in Congress don’t even really bother with small dollar donations anymore, because their campaigns are funded almost entirely by the billionaire donors. Those donors demanded that this thieving legislation be passed, and if it didn’t happen, they’d have pulled the plug on those donations. That would have left every Republican in Congress with no budget for reelection, and facing a well funded primary challenger. So they chose to end their careers by passing the bill, instead of ending their careers by not passing it. Here’s what happens next.
In the 2018 congressional election, we’re now looking at the biggest Democratic landslide in history. This will make 1974 look like a non-event. The Democrats will take control of the House and Senate, and if Donald Trump somehow hasn’t been ousted by then of his own accord, impeachment proceedings will begin immediately. Mike Pence will likely be impeached as well. In fact, now that so much of the GOP can’t get reelected anyway, we’ll see a whole lot of Republicans announcing that they’re “retiring” in 2018. Some of them may choose not to even finish their current terms. The Republican Party just committed suicide. That’s all there is to it.

MSNBC like Pacifica radio is the Fox news of the left.
I want nothing to do with 'any' ideology.
They both got us where we are now.
Yes I want liberal democrats in office. They do less damage.
With them in charge our national fall into a murderous dark age will take a few years longer is all. Well that, and I get to keep my Medicaid account which saved my life three times so far.
As for hope I have none. This above fantasy notwithstanding.
I think of suicide often as all old poor people do.
One grows weary of things as they are.
I'm tired, and not interested in being rescued by electoral politics,...one of these days.
I of course thank you for the trouble of posting the article.
However nice as he may be personally. The "Palmer Report" is just another node of the left echo chamber. Just as divorced from reality as Fox News, and their Bubbles.
If there's a landslide it will be a republican one.
A few seats might flip, but that's it.
This because American are stupid, and have no memories.
Sure now they're excited, but a year from now they'll be home watching "Game of Thrones". That, and seeing the republican Grand Slam will mumble,...oh were the elections 'yesterday'.
I await the Rapture.
Till then I make Angel collages build model kits take walks go hungry like I am as I post stay sick, and miss my dead friends.
I don't think Bernie or Warren can fix any of that.
Quite right. In today’s United States, electoral politics is the fiercely partisan, hard-fought and deeply meaningful debate between a ventriloquist and his dummy.
