Any private corporation with a graph like that would be going out of business. Any private corporation that borrowed from its rivals (China) and wasted it on public relations stunts (benefits for illegals exceeding those for native citizens, various halfhearted wars, the futile War on Drugs and Privacy) would deserve to.
Your comment about 'pass this along to those in our circle who say 'everything is going to be OK' is based upon an assumption:
That we who do care & are aware, are still on speaking terms with anyone who still clings to the 'everything is fine' mirage.
I find those who think that all will be well to be laboring under massive self deception - the last thing they want is to awakened from their slumber.
In fact, they recoil from anyone who attempts to do so, and see you as their new enemy.
To me, this is one more evidence of spiritual & moral blindness in our culture.
If you have such around you, you run in more broad circles than I, or are more temperate in your expression than I can be under such a current climate. I truly do admire anyone who is like this.
I find very few today who will look another in the eye, speak clearly & truthfully.
I endeavor to be such a person - but find myself to be quite out of step with the vast majority.
So many folks today seem only to be able so talk about superficialities - their worldviews are based largely upon feelings, rather than objective Truth.
Even in our churches, group think, collectivist assumptions that stifles honest dialogue holds sway !
Perhaps this is the result of a one way communication model - being preached to by the lie spewing media machine 24/7, has turned the populace (not all, but many) into those unable to think from cause to effect, to get to the root of a problem.
You probably already sense this, but maybe saying it publicly to other will help them to not feel too isolated....you are not alone....
God will smile upon those who love the Truth more than their own lives & selfish pursuits.
Could this is the deeper manifestation of being a part of the 3 % ?
