As promised in the last Monday Memes, I have an overflow. My meme cup runneth over. And yes, it looks like I may be doing one on Friday as well. 😊 We’ll see.
Now, let the mayhem, mockery, and ridicule resume:

Before I start, I’m looking for someone who knows how to rip a youtube video, and then edit it. I could do it myself, but my standard freeware youtube ripper got pulled I could. Unless someone can point me to freeware that will do it??? There are a couple of movie snips I want to grab for future use.

The US is not $30 trillion in debt. When you factor in commitments for which the government has no way to pay – “unfunded liabilities” – it’s closer to $130 trillion from what I read (the exact number varies from source to source). And when you factor in the world’s debt from fiat currency, there isn’t enough wealth to pay it off if we strip mined the entire planet.

See my comment in the Monday edition about living on one income in the 50’s. This, above, is precisely one big reason why we’re now in an ENVY-fueled consumer society. Make us so scrambling to live from paycheck to paycheck that we don’t have time to read, to really talk with neighbors and friends and so on, so we can’t figure out that we’ve all been shoved into the same leaky financial boat to distract us from what’s happening in the shadows.
IMHO this is deliberate.

Which brings to mind this Huxley quote:

The above – between all the meds we have now, between dopamine hits from social media praise, we have the pharma aspect covered. As well as endless mindless entertainment with plenty of consequence-free s*x…
As I’ve opined before, Orwell’s “1984” (see here), Huxley’s “Brave New World”, Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451”, and other dystopian novels, were written as warnings. And they’re very clearly being used as manuals. Or, were they written as manuals to begin with? Hmmm.
