I believe we have a long way to go before people begin to have hope. Is it enough to sustain us? Will the US survive or are we in the death throws in America? I read many articles portraying Americans as evil thinkers, discontent or Narcissistic, but as I go around and speak with young people, I get the same theme.... I have no purpose - I have no future; I will work, but only on my own terms. Or No, I will pretend to work, but I don't care. What is the point? Our young people are being shown that there is no viable reasoning to work?
It appears that most of society consists of a people who are now broken, professionally and privately. Can we rally them out of this funk? Can we restore the values of a good humanity? Do they not care about liberty, freedom or even compassion? The young people are hopelessly glued to what their Iphones tell them, controlled absolutely and without question. ALL of society is suffering because of this broken type of mind set in which technology reinforces, i.e. a sense of hopelessness, sloth and mental disease.
Alexa, or AI in general is their God. There is little in the way of work ethic. Millions and millions of people are bitter and angry at our government, our institutions. Untrusting of each other and authority. This virus is touching every part of industry.
I went to a large chain restaurant this weekend and was told there would be a 1 hour wait. It was 9am, a slow period. I ask why were 80 percent of the tables empty, yet we are asked to wait? They said they only have 3 servers, (opposed to 30) 3 cooks and no bus boys. Shocking! No one wants to work. Even the manager was not on duty. If you think about it, when was the last time, big box stores had an semblance of inventory? I went to Home Depot to purchase a water filter for my fridge and there was none in inventory. I bought a replacement switch for a lamp and it fell apart in my hands as I opened it. When was the last time you ordered a large appliance only to find it does not work?
How about how long did you have to wait to get an oil change, car repaired or replacement parts to a transmission? Most of my questions are rhetorical, but for us Frogs who are trying to be self sufficient, there is a dark force pushing America into the late 18th century.
Look around and be prepared. Winter is coming and is here for some. The scarcity will come sooner than you think. Concentrate on basics. Food, water, protection, fuel, warmth, tools, materials. And of course, a Bible.
Ten days of darkness will rip the iPhones out of their hands quickly due to the lack of airwaves. The WH's have the means of shutting down all communications for a while and once that happens people will understand what communicating with one another is. We need to get away from those svengalli machines and teach this younger generation what it is like to have a conversation with a real person. Once that begins the younger generation will understand what it feels like to help a little old lady cross the street. Or to play checkers with their grandfather. Hard times make hard people.
We have to make it happen, we raised a show me generation and they have no idea how it could be. Sounds like another fairy tail to them. Think about it, most people under 40 or 50 don't know what it could be like, and we only got a taste.
WE can't do anything. What we're witnessing if a country that collectively has rejected YeHoVaH the living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He and only He can repent and change our course. But if course that only will come if this country stands for righteousness, justice by the Most High's laws.
From my understanding that won't happen, as this is His will that this world fades away and His judgements come down on us all. Whether they be of redemption or destruction, it comes down to the individual. The reality is that this truth doesn't only apply to America but for all the inhabitants of this earth.
So we alone must come to repentance to Him alone. There's no other way one will escape what is coming. His word is very clear on the matter.
AMEN
