Is a total ban on diabetes medicine on the way? This is an effort to kill anyone who isn't young and fit.
Yeah, I’d say yes. It's a primer and warning shot. They’ll roll it out in phases.
It gets a reaction out of us. And not always a logical one. A lot of people’s gut instinct is just to deny whatever “they” say. That does two things:
First, it gets their base thinking and talking about how many T2 diabetics are supposedly just consequences of lifestyle.
Second, it pushes the left into reflexively denying that even though it’s partly true. So now, when any real conversation comes up, there’s already a schism. And they can use that to sneak more garbage through, stuff that benefits them and their friends.
Can we head them off at the pass?
No. Never.
Can it come to pass that their heads come off?
“All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.”
No. R3v0luti0n is impossible in a postindustrial society.
So was a housing price crash, until 2008.
The crash was always a built-in undocumented feature of the bubble.
The reason it never crashed before is because it never bubbled before.
The reason it never bubbled before is because the banks never wrote junk mortgages before.
The reason the banks never wrote junk mortgages before was because they didn't realize that they were "too big to fail."
Massive wealth inequality also drives the situation, because there's a small slice of people who can afford anything and they tend to drive up the prices of things for other people who can't really afford the run-up.
