We—I, and my spousal unit, Violeta—pulled into DC after a conventionally miserable flight from Guadalajara in seats apparently designed for dwarves with our feet almost in our pockets and Delta trying to sell us beer at seven dollars a can. I didn’t get it. If you can sell watery brew at seven balloonishly inflating greenbacks a can, why do you need an airline?
The occasion was a visit to a woman with whom I immediately became involved, though with Violeta’s permission. She weighs seven and a half pounds and has a smile that would make a dead man weep. This may have little geopolitical importance, though.
Anyway, the proud father celebrated having produced, or coproduced, a baby who probably deserves a world run by psychiatrically less fascinating adults, by taking about a dozen of us to Fogo da Something, a Brazilian restaurant on Pennsylvania across from the Trump Hotel. This costs $64 a head for all the meat and salad bar you could eat, desserts and drinks extra, so with tip you can crawl out, stuffed and economically depleted, for about $90. Salad bar good, desserts swell, meat tasteless. You can do better for a sixth the price at La Carreta, down the lake from us in Mexico.
The meal was a pre-guillotine experience, especially the restaurant. Or I hope so. The waiter says, “Hi! I’m Bruce and I am going to be your waitperson and do everything I can to make sure you have a wonderful, wonderful dining experience. We are orgasmically delighted to see you and….” When a waiter oozes like that, sure, he’s looking for tips, but I wonder, tips of what?
In Mexico waiters are courteous but you can tell they don’t want to sit in your lap or have a long-term relationship. In New York a waiter says, “What’ll it be?” and you say, “Eggs over medium, bacon on the side, cuppa mud,” and he says, “You got it.” Human. It gets the job done. You couldn’t write a Proust novel about it.
Anyway, the place was big, I’d guess between seventy-five and a hundred people doing the squat-and-gobble, likely disgorging on average a C-note per. This is DC, with the five richest counties in America, Montgomery, Loudoun, Fairfax, that kind of place, a city where the graft never stops, recession proof, where bribes run in freshets. Out there in Flyover Land, in Appalachia and the Rust Belt and the rural Deep South, families think going to Mickey D’s is a treat. And the swarming derelicts in the warm states increase in their medieval Ly diseased hordes.
Guillotine stocks. It’s the way to invest.
Washington is a rerun. In Paris in 1788 , creeping toward the Terror, the aristocracy was, like Washington’s upper crust, wealthy and schooled and cultured and cared not a withered farthing about the peasantry, as neither does Washington. Marie Antoinette didn’t really say, “Let them eat cake,” but they all thought it, and Hillary Antoinette, with her contempt for the Basket of Deplorables, expresses the same sentiment. There will be a price. Maybe anyway.
I spent two weeks in this diseased city wondering, “What are they thinking? The country is disintegrating internally, inflation growing like kudzu on a Georgia roadcut, living standards falling, the schools going to hell, and Washington is worried about…the Ukraine? Things crumble, resources are desperately needed domestically, and Washington buys the B-21, which Aviation Week prices at $640 million a copy of which, by design, you have probably never heard.”
It’s nuts. The racial situation is an intensifying disaster with continent-wide rioting, burning cities, ghetto kids graduating illiterate, desperate white people offing themselves with opioids, the rabble storming the Bastille—wait, this time I think it was the Capitol–but we need to raise prices by tariffs on China and Russia.
One night we went to eat with old friends from an earlier life. Like so many in DC, they were ninety-ninth percentile in intelligence, well educated, and decent people. We pondered, “Thai? Chinese? There’s a new Turkish place that’s supposed to be good.” Again, good people, though living in million-dollar houses, but…but…for much of the country Turkish, in some spiffy joint on Cap Hill or upper Connecticut Ave, would be the adventure of a lifetime. Washington has an ampleness of evil people, the Bidens, Blinkens, Victoria Newlands, Trump at one remove, but so many are just out of touch. There’s a new Turkish place in the city, and when was the last time they dined in Flint?
The media, a salt mine in which I once labored, are an embarrassment, utterly partisan, ranting and howling about Russia. OK, in war it is usual to cut the public off from information and to keep them stirred up with accounts of rape, human shield, “genocide,” chemical war, massacres, torture, a rule of television being to get a woman to cry and fill the frame. In Vietnam the media ran all over the country and actually reported what was happening, which eventually ended the war. This error is not being repeated.
{what bothers me is the apparent lack of curiosity, of doubt of official sources. Contrary to belief in some quarters, reporters are not given orders to adopt a particular point of view, though they know better than to contradict the publication’s line. No scribbler at the Washington Post will discuss racial differences in intelligence. But they are herd animals.}
Violeta, whose cynicism toward government—anybody’s government—would peel paint from a wall, watched a video clip purportedly of a Russian tank crushing a car occupied by Ukrainians. She noticed after research that the Russian tank was black without markings, like Ukrainian tanks, instead of green with markings, like all other Russian tanks. OK, maybe it was an undercover Russian tank. She also noticed in some of the Russian-destruction video, street signs are blurred out. Uh…, why dat? Anyone want to guess?
Why do reporters not pay attention? First, again, they are creatures of the pack. They live in the Beltway Terrarium, talk to each other, read each other, and so know they are right. Don’t their colleagues all say so? Second, they are painfully ignorant of matters military, knowing chiefly the bureaucracies involved in policy, contracting, and so on. This includes those for the WaPo, whom I knew—Gerge Wilson, Molly Moore, etc. As a comparison with the coverage of the Washington media, here is a piece by Scott Ritter, a former American intelligence officer stationed in, among other places, Moscow. It is long but contains the kind of knowledge that not one of the Beltways reporters, squalling, screeching, preening and yodeling has an earthworm’s grasp.
Why did Russia attack? Anyone who can read a map can see that since 1991 the US has been trying, with considerable success, to encircle Russia militarily. Russia has said over and over that it was not going to have American missiles on its border in the Ukraine any more than America would allow Chinese missiles in Tijuana. I encountered no one in DC who had even heard of this, though it has been going on for years. This is journalism?
Yes.
All things end, except those that don’t. On a cold rainy predawn morning we caught an Uber to Reagan National, returning to a country that has just left the Third World to one energetically returning to it. A stewardess aboard read the boilerplate about have a wonderful flight. She didn’t explain just how that laudable goal might be achieved. Remember, cometh the guillotine. Kachunk. Kachunk. Kachun.
Interesting article. The MSM is in a despicable state. The only thing I can hope for is that the people will rise up and revolt. Extreme and industrial levels of propganda are ultimately due to failure. Saturation levels in humans will ensure they just switch off eventually. Here in the UK the clown that is our Prime Minister is beginning to realize that the people care more about domestic issues than a tin pot dictatorship in Eastern Europe.
There are reasons why I don’t read the Post or Times. There are reasons why I never accept any invitation that requires me to be in DC. There are reasons why I read you, the Saker, Andre and Nightvison consistently. For truth. Well said, well done and true
Great comment. I couldn’t have said it better.
First world shithole.
99th percentile in intelligence still living in Washington? Perhaps it’s a fluoride in the water.
“99th percentile” is still midwit, otherwise they wouldn’t crow about it – and that means they arent 99th percentile.
Tumbril
The only bright spot in this depressing piece.
Bring on the electric tumbrils.
Fred as usual tells it like it really is. Thank, Fred!
…. yes, always… except for the open southern border (because if he lives happily in Mexico with his very young Latina wife why can’t everybody?) and the “heft” of the Jewish lobby, which he denies vigorously, like something that exists only in the minds of bigots, stupid goyim jealous of Jewish success
Fred? I thought Dr. Strangelove had run out of cigarettes and had to make do with a cigar.
My relatives are all over the eastern seaboard. Sister just built a huge house in FLA w/pool. After 3 years wants to move because they don’t like DeSantis.. I am too cheap to travel back, really really don’t want to see the remains of what was once beautiful. Sunset Beach North Carolina. Key West where I went to A school. It’s traumatizing.
There are 2 traffic lights in this town. One’s been broke since the pole got mowed down, everyone runs right through the temporary stop signs, me too! I worked in the airline industry, on engines. I get a headache just thinking of flying in a cattle car while my old instincts troubleshoot the aircraft. The can says don’t get the turbine engine oil on your hands but it’s ok to breath it, right!
”Russia has said over and over that it was not going to have American missiles on its border in the Ukraine any more than America would allow Chinese missiles in Tijuana. I encountered no one in DC who had even heard of this, though it has been going on for years. This is journalism?” Yes a completely unprovoked invasion!
So many people living in a kind of shadow world. They are so certain of what is so totally wrong. Lately I am trying out just being honest. Fellow I considered a friend asked me a very private personal medical question. I said I am not that ****ing stupid. Don’t ever call me again. I had taken his number off the phone months ago.
“Violeta, whose cynicism toward government—anybody’s government—would peel paint from a wall,”
How did such a wonderful trait become so rare. People act now as if TV news is full of direct messages from God.
Ah, life in Paradise.
Fred hits the nail on the head.
My one complaint about Fred: Dr. Gary North admonished the faithful not to rant about what is wrong if you have no solution to trot out immediately after that rant. Or maybe Fred is proposing the guillotine?
I prefer the rope since there are lots of trees in DC and seeing them bloom in springtime and producing new fruit would be wonderful. I recommend beginning with a blockade of DC and Langley and beginning the harvest at the Israeli embassy. Maybe nukes exploding inside Iron Mountain and Cheyenne Mountain would help set the mood of no escape from the consequences of what they planted and what they have planned for us deplorables.
Reed would frown on your inclusion of the Israeli embassy
What did the good doctor suggest they do instead?
and thanks to Fred.
“Dr. Gary North admonished the faithful not to rant about what is wrong if you have no solution to trot out immediately after that rant.”
That’s nonsense: The identifier and solver of a problem may live poles and centuries apart.
“Maybe Fred is proposing the guillotine?
I prefer the rope since there are lots of trees in DC .”
A la lanterne.
Don’t hurt the trees.
Maybe? Seriously a conversation needs to start around amnesty, those 1st in line get waterfront.
With limits.
Violent fantasies are just that. Ankle bracelets. Every day you visit an online site where they all apologize for this mess. Total forfeit all assets and power. Turn Australia back into a penal colony.
All cancelled individuals immediately reinstated and assuming some power of those who took them out.
The Guillotines have a certain appeal though. The old Facebook would vanish and the new one would give you a picture from the basket. Oh he didn’t see this coming.
Loved your article. :-)
Am reminded of the scene from the The Godfather, where the character, Micheal Corleone, states to his partners that don’t they have friends in the newspaper business who can come up with a story about a certain cop. This generation of so-called leaders in the US government are nothing short of acting like Mafia bosses. Even Sam Giancana, former Chicago mob boss, stated that the government and them are cut from the same cloth. That’s why in my book I call our nation’s capital, Washington District of Caligula.
Don’t you think it’s a little unfair, comparing the US government to the mafia? Sure, the mafia did rob and murder a few people, but how does that compare to Iraq and Afghanistan? I think you owe Don Corleone an apology.
People are no longer interested in details, in nuance. But narrative, that’s another thing.
I really don’t think most people have (for whatever reason) educated themselves enough to understand the world. The situation in Russia goes all the way back to the Swedish-Russo War of 1788 (and even further) and all of the wars and conflicts on that border in between. Then you have to go into the history of the USSR, how it was formed (the conflict between Lenin & Stalin over the nationalities) and how it came apart:
How many actually understood this scene from the Chernobyl Miniseries:
The Old Woman and the Cow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXKo5CoH5cU&t=33s
The real problem is that people “don’t know that they don’t know”. How many people would walk into a chemistry laboratory and just start blithely mixing chemicals? Very few. However, people believe that the Ukraine-Russia conflict is something they can understand and have an opinion about. And the scary thing there is that they would safer bumping around in a chemistry laboratory than opining about Ukraine, as the consequences of doing the later are worldwide famine and nuclear war. IMHO
“No scribbler at the Washington Post will discuss racial differences in intelligence” They’re probably afraid of finding out just how dumb most white people are :)
What a delightful read Mr Reed!
Welcome here where you’ll be warmly appreciated and bring more entertainment and deep understanding about the contrast between the real human world and the artificiality of zombified sordid modernity.
Unfortunately we’ll never see a guillotine in action but Mr Kinzhal Zircon & Co might pay a visit to the hideouts of the neoconic aristocracy. Just the thought of it alone is a heart-warming escapade from the pervasive idiocy reigning in the Hegemon’s empire.
Please bring more!
Used to like “Fred on Everything” … Reed is a smart guy. And a real Marine enlisted man. As an old navy E6 I appreciate that. But his ridiculing of anyone who fails to swallow the official 9/11 Horseshit sealed it for me. He’s a guy I’d love to have a few beers with and shoot the shit. But I now take his political polemics with a giant block of salt
Fred and I are the same age, sorta, and we lived through the same era, although in different places. He served; I didn’t. Too old by one year. I tend to think his political analysis is pretty good, but then I agree with him.
I don’t think I could live in Mexico, but my wife, who used to teach Spanish and Latin American culture in college, could. Although she would prefer Costa Rica, the Pacific coast, despite the iguanas (and the escaped dinosaurs).
From Fred and my perspectives, America is a dying country. So sad. See Van der Leun:
https://americandigest.org/how-beautiful-we-were/
The ‘bench’ shown below has been in that state through more than a few presidential administrations. Other than some new construction, DC has been crumbling. Very little maintenance.
https://saturationtiming.blogspot.com/2022/04/3rd-world-dc-biden-bench.html
Went to a bar here in the U.S. tonight hoping to find some semi- like minded people to talk to (everyone I know is out of town this weekend). The scene is surreal. Same shitty people drinking and acting shitty with one another, blissfully unaware that we may be closer to nuclear war than the Cuban missile crisis. Unaware that even without that coming to pass, Ukraine will soon be a land locked rump state and the global financial order is going to have a meltdown over it. Unknowing that in six months they might be in a fist fight over the last loaf of bread on the shelf.
Covid didn’t make anyone think. I feel somewhat bad for the people whom it did make think though. Explaining to them that Ukraine is the bad guy would be like killing god to them, although they would eventually accept it.
This country is an un-ending nightmare. I’d say you Rooskies are lucky for having a country led by a serious man and full of serious people, but that isn’t luck, you earned it suffering through the hell you guys went through for the last century. Well the suffering will be here soon enough.
You’re correct in your assessment of nuclear war. I lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis back in October, 1962. The current situation is much, much worse than it was in 60 years ago. Back then, people were preparing for it big time. Sure, there was a lot of anxiety and stress, but the masses had their act together about what could transpire. Actually, I’ve been prepped for nuclear war since the late 1950’s. The duck and cover exercise is still very much a part of my daily routine, especially since late February. You never forget. That’s why you stay prepared for the worst case scenario, including the potassium iodide pills!
Fast forward to 2022 and no one really cares or is concerned. The masses are in denial and for the most part, unprepared for the inevitable. I’ve given up and now refer to this country as the FUSA. I’m sure you know what the “f'” stands for in the abbreviation. By the way, there’s no civil defense left in the FUSA. It doesn’t matter. Let the masses have their sportsball, Netflix, credit cards, etc. Thinking about nuclear war or even a civil war is very unpleasant and just a remote possibility, for the time being.
I cringe at the though of somehow being forced by circumstance to have to return to my ‘home country’ and my ‘home state.’ I imagine that after 1 year back in country I’d be broke and on the street. Two grand and change a month puts me and the Mrs in the poverty zone while my skin color would put me at the bottom of any government subsidy program, like housing (which by the way I wouldn’t want anyway). And my wife? Well she would probably earn the moniker of a ‘white Asian’ by virtue of being married to yours truly. I guess eventually I’d have to don a sign “Bounce A Quarter Off A Veteran’s Head’ while sitting on Broadway and Pike as our liberal state supplies any immigrant capable of wading across the Rio Grande with housing and assistance and UBI – but an elderly white veteran with a “white Asian” wife with passports and proper visas? (cut to video of a dog taking a poop). The wife and I would be better off to ditch our paperwork and wade across the Rio Grande ourselves. “No hablo English.” What a state of affairs in Exceptionalstan?
Then I wake up, I thank God, and pray to God to simply allow me to stay in the third world country where I’ve lived for a decade and a half. The house and car are fully paid off, no property taxes, barter for goods thrives, most have vegetable gardens, all villages have markets, larger towns have larger markets where a bag of green pepper, or onions, or garlic, or various fruits cost under a buck USD, and 10 kilos of rice costs about 7.50 USD. And you can’t give Papaya away as it grows like weeds, In many cases bananas too. The government here is wise enough to protect their domestic food supply and supply the natives with free health care and should they forget. Well like the Op stated, “Kachunk Kachunk.”
I don’t always agree with Fred, but his words are always uniquely entertaining.
This was a good read. So many Americans have no clue how badly they are being lied to.
Satan’s synagogue did this.
No one is safe.
Nothing free from infiltration and subversion.
Being ignorant of the war Satan worshippers are waging upon humanity is a death sentence.
Tens of millions have already died from their assaults. From diet induced diabetes or heart attacks to heart attacks from injections to joining the reddit brigade in Lviv.
And its only going to get worse.
Most of humanity will die
The laws of the jungle are clearly defined and Putin/Russia, the bear,, are crystal sharp on their place in it. Their birthright, destiny, will not be usurped by a soon to be graveyard of elephants, unable to accept their fate, their role/place in the NWO. SHIT, these M*****f***ers, will actually have to go and look for work, retrain, reinvent themselves. Millions of msm-bankers-think tanks-grifters-shills, the real useless eaters, no longer able to suck on the teat of a bloated Federal Reserve. Yellen the disfigured hobbit dwarf, although no longer Fed Chair (has Goldman/Mnuchin Treasury Keys ) rules the roost here and her behaviour (G20) in coming to terms with reality is a joy to behold. She needs a good double-teaming to get rid of that pent up hate. Who’d volunteer for that though, even Mr Yellen must look at those foot & half long legs in the air and want to throw up.
Anglo-Zionist’s printing presses/houses churning out Mickey Mouse fiat currency for real commodities and products has run its course, like Trumplethinskin’s spinning wheel, backed by a Javelin missile in the face, just won’t do anymore, say the folks who own and manufacture real stuff. To checkmate your Javelin/Cruise missiles, Tiger India will buy the s400 X Plenty. Rupees-Roubles not a problemo Uncle Scam.
Absolutely futile is their hubris, like the CIA sprinkling confetti $$$$$$$$ on a wedding party it’s just bombed.

Bare Necessities – BALU (Russia) Bear – Just a few bars and I recommend watching the video, carries you back to your childhood when you were probably as happy as a pig in shit, as well as thick as.
‘Look for the bare necessities
the simple bare necessities
forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
of mother nature’s recipes
that bring the bare necessities of life . . . .
Trust Me – Those bare necessities will seem like luxuries in the not too distant for most.
Yeah, but there is a further line in that song, repeated again and again:
“The bare necessities of life will come to you,
They’ll come to you!” :-)
“I spent two weeks in this diseased city wondering, “What are they thinking?”
That’s easy! I can do that! They’re thinking, “Screw you, I got mine”.
“Contrary to belief in some quarters, reporters are not given orders to adopt a particular point of view, though they know better than to contradict the publication’s line. No scribbler at the Washington Post will discuss racial differences in intelligence. But they are herd animals”.
Dr Chomsky explained this very succinctly long ago.
‘Marr: “How can you know that I’m self-censoring? How can you know that journalists are…”
‘Chomsky: “I’m not saying you’re self censoring. I’m sure you believe everything you’re saying. But what I’m saying is that if you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting”’.

In part those that are spontaneously “aligned” get their contract renewed and then they get promoted, but in part it is also a conscious aim to be “aligned” to be similarly rewarded:

“journalists/columnists of a certain age (meaning ones not much older than me and younger) are coming around to the realization that the economy is screwing them, too.
There was a moment when a lot of them (we’re talking ones at elite outlets, not your random small town paper) thought they’d done everything right, would become celebrities, and get Tom Friedman’s speaking fees. The economy sure was working for them, and screw everybody else.”
High literature, Fred Reed. You are free, not good.
“Why do reporters not pay attention?”
I’m pretty sure a lot of them at least, know perfectly well what is happening and why. The simple fact is that it is not their job to find and report the truth. They have become cheerleaders for the government and the corporations that own the government. So they do their job faithfully, by “reporting” what they know their bosses will like. That may get them rises and promotions. Writing the truth would get them passed over, eventually fired, and possibly killed.
One thing Fred didn’t mention, but I think very important: I believe the media have very sensitive antennae for what “the people” want. And they want to hear that they live in the greatest country in the world, with the best of everything, and able to crush anyone who gets in its way. Sure, they wouldn’t actually want to be out there with bombs and rockets and guns killing foreigners – but they are quite happy that someone is. They know in their heart of hearts that they will never be billionaires or even comfortably well off – but somehow they keep desperately conning themselves that it MAY happen. They MAY win the lottery. After all, isn’t the USA the land of opportunity where the streets are paved with gold and running with milk and honey?
Loved this!
you made me hungry for Mediterranean Food now! Tomorrow I know what I am eating for dinner
Mexico has just left the third world? When did this happen? Sorry Fred, when the SHTF gringos will be eaten first in Mexico, although you might be spared being well done….hope you can beg well in Spanish……….
It’s not quite as innocent as that sounds. As in the Hunter Biden laptop issue, the intelligence community put out a statement that it (the laptop contents) ‘looks‘ like a Russian operation. But they use very vague language to state that, so that, in the end, when it’s proven to be false, they can claim never to have been categorical about it.
Yet all the reporters who went with the story filled the dots in themselves. No one who was alive in the last 10 years can possibly think this is some kind of innocent mistake resulting from reporters being some kind of ‘pack creatures‘ or anything, this is practiced deniability to fool all those who desperately want to be fooled, that’s all.
“Contrary to belief in some quarters, reporters are not given orders to adopt a particular point of view, though they know better than to contradict the publication’s line.”
A distinction without a difference.
One of the hallmarks of modern American democracy is that any demented imbecile can get elected to office; now that’s bad but only the beginning. These intellectual giants then get to make policy – now that’s bad, very bad…

Better to be a few years early, than 1 day late.

«I just sat there at a plain round table as my audience was brought to me: five super-wealthy guys — yes, all men — from the upper echelon of the hedge fund world. After a bit of small talk, I realized they had no interest in the information I had prepared about the future of technology. They had come with questions of their own. […] Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked, “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?”
The Event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, unstoppable virus, or Mr. Robot hack that takes everything down.
This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs. But how would they pay the guards once money was worthless? What would stop the guards from choosing their own leader? The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers — if that technology could be developed in time.»

Very good new interview of Clif High by Greg Hunter. Clif said that Russia and Putin are fighting the WEF (World Economic Forum – Klaus Schwab-Rothschild) criminal cartel. He said Russia and Putin wanted to take out the Ukie-NATO-WEF biolabs. They took out the banks that launder the WEF criminal cartel money. He said they also seized gold and silver that the elites and WEF criminal cartel members had their wealth tied up in that gold and silver.
Clif talks about before Ukraine we had Khazakistan. Khazak is where the new world order wanted to have it’s headquarters. They built all these weird satanic globalist buildings and facility with their numerology and sun god worship and other garbage. Russia and Kazakh people revolted before Ukraine got started.
Don’t for get the same people who pushed Covid and toxic vaccines on mainly the west are the same people backing Zelensky-Biden-Soros-Rothschilds. Also note that according to Russian people I have spoken to Russia and Putin never had forced vaxxes or lockdowns.

Cosngratulations on the birth of your Grand-daughter! Mine just turned 9monrths, and it is a blessing. I gave up smoking, not because I thought it would extend my life, but because i didn’t wan her to associate an ash tray w/the odor of her grandfather; smell being a very primitive and basic connection to the brain and memory. In the last few months i’ve been condsidering the situation in DC: beautiful buildings in the midst of squalor and homelessness. DC is run financially by congress. As the capitol of the country which they control, one would think that they would take pride in THEIR city, their place of work, the symbol of the country of which they are the ultimate public servants. They could give a flip. This expemplifies the mindset of those who govern us, and this is why we should not believe that anything they say or do will be at all to the country’s benefit. They should be shunned, derided, and their allowance removed until they clean their room,.
That’s exactly why I stopped pooping indoors.
Good to hear/read Fred still going strong and giving them hell. Guys like this should be getting Pulitzers just for having their heads out of their asses.
Very nice formulations … and very enjoyable reading :-)
Fred should do more of it.
I love the “Hillary Antoinette” … and the “pre-guillotine experience”.
I will laugh the whole week on this … :-)
«I spent two weeks in this diseased city wondering, “What are they thinking? The country is disintegrating internally, inflation growing like kudzu on a Georgia roadcut, living standards falling, the schools going to hell»
Our author commits here the usual mistake of “leftoids”, to claim that things are good only for the 1%, in Washington and similar places, and bad for everybody else.
Actually things are swell for around 30-40% of the population, those making effortlessly huge profits on their real estate and their share pensions accounts, or with jobs in finance, real estate, technology. They are living the American Dreams: “make money fast” and “screw everybody else”.
That 30-40% is mostly older and retired, fantastically pleased with themselves for having had the sagacity to be born in time to take advantage of the reaganian/neoliberal 40 year long boom in real estate and shares and tech, pumped up for decades by a flood of cheap credit from the Fed.

Then there are young people in rich areas, and people of all ages in “rustbelt” areas devastated by offshoring and downsizing. They don’t matter politically, no major party is willing to represent them and their interests. They can riots, but that’s just a way to allow them to “let off steam”.
