5. Good for Biden, because that's exactly what will happen
Thu Sep 3, 2020, 11:14 AM
Sep 2020

Defunding Social Security and letting it go broke is the only thing the plutocracy has left to loot in order to play another round or two on the Monopoly board. They will do this because they are obsessed with the game. People who aren't in the game are simply not real to them. They are utterly blind to everything but the game.

The system can no longer be tweaked, sensible rules reinstituted to try to save capitalism from itself again, it has gone too far under Dumdum and complicit "fiscal conservatives," AKA pro business, cheap labor shitheads. The collapse is inevitable no matter what happens and while I'd prefer to have it all collapse on Dumdum, I'd prefer to have Biden and a Democratic Congress start to pick up the pieces.

I don't know the form this will take or what will start the collapse or when it will happen or what the best strategy to survive it will be. No one knows any of that until it's all over. I can just see what's coming, and even if they eke a few extra years out of it by starving old people to death, it's inevitable. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
