15. The difference today

Sat May 3, 2025, 10:56 PM

May 3

The difference today is that in the past 50 years when things got bad such as in Republican economic recessions, the government was there with help for the American people to get through those bad economic times. That isn't going to happen this time around. The Turd and the Mu$k DOGE Fascists have essentially dismantled the requisite governmental services sector which has historically provided that economic "safety net" for times of dire economic trouble. This time around, the Turd economic recession will be a lot like 1929 when there were few governmental agencies equipped to help out with the calamitous miseries which will be inflicted by the Turd's coming economic catastrophe.
