Oh haha. Not balconies then. There are some pretty far fetched connections, but not that far fetched I guess. I'll have to finally read that book.
I think there are a lot of people in this country who are just distracted, defeated, and delusional.
Most of us. I do not share this delusion, and it frightens me that so many do, simply accept as whole cloth any stories their government and agencies feeds them, no matter how obviously flawed the stories are.
I feel like I connect with the mindset of the founders of cryptocurrency much more after reading the book. I understand now how much of a lifeline cryptocurrency will be when the entire financial system falls apart.
I was among the distracted until the Housing Crisis of 2008. That was when the alarm went off for me because I was directly effected. Our friend from St. Thomas was also telling us about inept FEMA was during the double hurricanes of 2017. FEMA provided nothing until after the first week and then it was Skittles, bottled water, and canned beans with hotdogs. She said it was up to the citizens to take care of each other. I feel like only when you experience something directly or hear first hand accounts of something does it really hit home.
