Well, I thought I’d give it another try, now that the Dow is below 50,000, a barrel of oil costs nearly $100 (will soon be even higher again), and even the "First Lady" is so openly turning against her husband by pointing out again that Epstein didn’t act alone and that no one has been held accountable for the monsterous misdeeds of the "cabal," which the regime is trying to protect by any means necessary because various people from their own ranks as well as many of their most prominent supporters are so obviously involved in these horrible crimes.
I still have some hope left that U.S. citizens might reconsider and extend the general strike planned for May 1 indefinitely - namely, until the regime steps down and perhaps even some of the the long-overdue, far-reaching reforms are initiated that would be necessary to reduce the rampant corruption in the political and legal systems to a somewhat tolerable level - that seems to me to be the only civil way to break the power of the oligarchs who hold the country in a stranglehold.
You see, the most common argument I’ve heard so far as to why this isn’t happening is that U.S. citizens insist they can’t afford to risk their jobs. Perhaps the fact that the country is on the brink of a recession -which would cost many U.S. citizens their jobs anyway - will change that somewhat -or perhaps the fact that the cost of living is so high that their salaries no longer cover their basic needs.
We’ll see...
