Wall Street wants default.

The ensuing economic collapse would get rid of the "labor shortage". How am I wrong?

Is something big being planned?

I'm thinking of the coup attempts in Peru, Germany. Also the electric infrastructure attacks.

Are these things now happening at a faster pace and in such a way that, either:

1. Eventually some attempt at something big gets past logistical and law enforcement barriers.

or

2. These things are decoys or tests, and the big one comes sometime between tomorrow and a couple years from now?

Today at the grocery store I saw...

a dude who made my life a living hell in high school.
I decided not to talk to him because he's fucking insane.
He's probably accuse me of harrassing him(he was good at projecting
and even sometimes seemed to totally lack self-awareness), talk
shit to our mutual friends on facebook, etc.
Anyhoo, his body language(it was unusual) made an activity as innocuous as
grocery shopping seem so DOUCHEBAGGY, that I was, actually,
pretty impressed!

Who has a similar story to tell?

Here's what's in the House Democrats' stimulus relief plan
Congress already approved $4 trillion in Covid relief. Here's what's happened to it
Here's what budget reconciliation is (and why it matters for Biden's stimulus)
Here are the executive actions Biden has signed so far

The House Budget Committee is expected to consider the legislation, which is based off measures approved by at least nine committees, on Monday. Most of them -- but not all -- adhere closely to what Biden outlined in his $1.9 trillion relief proposal last month.
The full House may pass the legislation as soon as next week, but it could face hurdles in the Senate, where Democrats can't afford to lose a single member of their party thanks to the 50-50 split in the chamber. Already, two Democrats -- Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia -- have voiced opposition to one element of the plan, raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
