My lights still go on. The tap water is working.
I have internet access.
There is enough to eat.
My grocer has everything except eggs since bird flu is still “a thing.”
What’s going on?
The systems I use are working, so what’s the problem?
A coup. Merriam-Webster says a coup is “a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.”
That’s the problem. The USA is in the early stages of a rapid coup. The force and violence are mostly isolated to technological controls on money and communications.
Your tax dollars are under the control of a handful of boys, most of whom can’t even legally buy beer.
Your personal accounts may be accessed for the whims of someone who isn’t accountable – you didn’t vote for Elon Musk. The Veterans Administration, for example, has been infiltrated.
Musk is an elite – (Merriam-Webster: a group of persons who, by virtue of position or education, exercise much power or influence members of the ruling elite). He bought his way into controlling the most powerful economy in the world.
His U.S. citizenship is questionable. Look it up before they take away the records. “When they did fund us,” Kimbal Musk recalled, “they realized that we were illegal immigrants.” “Well …,” Elon Musk interjected. “Yes, we were,” Kimbal Musk pushed back. Video of the remarks shows Elon Musk laughing.
You can’t fire someone you didn’t hire.
The elected people supporting the coup are worse in many ways.
They KNOW what they’re doing.
They’re doing it anyway.
Plant a garden, secure your personal information (print copies of everything), and demand accountability. Nobody reading this planned for a country run for fun and profit at the whims of unelected tech bros who don’t know where food comes from, how to make it, or how their daily services actually work. They expect to wave a manicured, tech-savvy finger, and all their personal needs will be met.
Don’t feed the beast. Starve it – before they cut off our power, lights, and water.
