Think crime is bad now? Wait till people are actually broke AF and desperate. A metric F ton of people in the US have been brainwashed to think they have struggled because their $900 phone told them about it. I'm a believer it really won't take a food shortage or serious strife to see certain people grenade, just watch them when they don't have WiFi or a cell signal it's a dead giveaway to their batshit crazy ness. Neutered law enforcement, shit court's, those pesky budget cuts coming and so on. Today's crime rate will feel like Mayberry in comparison.

I don’t see where he said that however I do see it as possible sadly. America has a broken leg right now with no crutches. Other countries are watching and laughing. We bicker with ourselves as people forgot what this country was founded on and the lives lost to preserve our freedom. None of these crybaby’s have ever had to go to war to defend our country and wouldn’t if the shit hits the fan……. Trying times my friends!

Other countries are in the same boat , this is a WORLD wide reset , not just the US . And it’s worse than we’re told …
This is the truth as I've seen it. I have friends that are kind of in the same paygrade as I am, in the same industries I am familiar with. Supply chain for materials is sketchy in Europe and South America, and hearing the same coming from other places as well. Food will be the tipping point, when it becomes more obvious. Right now, there are spotty items in the grocery stores, but most are doing their best to hide it. Repair parts are weeks to months out for some things...

Today at work, one of the guys just had his catalytic converter stolen off work truck as he was working across the street on the corner. He actually saw the cat fall on the ground. It was probably still hot as hell, he hadn’t been there but 10 minutes. Tried to catch the thief but he jumped in waiting car and was gone.

It’s going to get bad!

You guys should cut them all off yourself and use 3 bolt header flanges to swap out the cat for a straight pipe. Etch the license number of the truck on the cat that the cat came out of, a muffler shop won't do it but a mobile Welder will.

The question I have is will these modern cars run correctly without the catalytic converter‘s? Isn’t there an upstream and downstream O2 sensor or whatever? Serious question to anybody who knows because I certainly don’t.

The check engine light will turn on but no driveability issues, hell MPG might go up. You will have to clear the code and drive it 100-120 miles mixed (city/hwy) driving to reset the monitors.

Maybe the sky will fall but it isn’t…yet. There sure is a lot of gloom and doom around here. Maybe the perpetual “Speed Car is coming” is getting people down?

I hope ya’ll aren’t under a black cloud all day long (can I call it a black cloud?)

Some have a black cloud over them while others have their head in the sand.

I was a boy scout so I tend to be prepared. There is a reason I live where I do. Good luck to the city bitches! :oops:😂

The libs are driving down the economy and it will be terrible. Just in time for them to buy the left by providing them with paychecks and handouts.

Agreed, but the only reason every other country is focused on the US is because the most powerful media machine in the world ... the US mainstream, is putting it all out there with enough embellishment so that other country's media's aren't even covering their own local stories.

What countries do y’all think are doing better (or less shitty) than the US?

It’s all fun and games until good people with guns get involved and start shooting.
If you listen to the media, there are no good people with guns.

I've never claimed to be a good person. I know what I'd do to protect my wife and kids, and very little falls under the blanket of "nice", possibly not even "civilized".
As has been brought up before, "What are you prepared to do?"
That differs from person to person, home to home, but sadly, needs to be given thought.

Frightening question...the unions are pretty much in bed with the democrats, and the dems are pushing towards communism. As an abstract thought, what would happen if the government nationalized the unions? Like under some form of "national security" act? Like the "workers' party" type thing?
:oops:
Read the naked communist. Communists align with labor unions as their first attempt to pit the workers united against the bourgeoisie.

All this has been attempted before in the 1900’s. The commie leaders plans fall apart when they fail to meet any of their boastful goals as humans resort to only doing what’s in their best interests.

Only good commie is a dead one

I could care less what other people say about unions. Been in mine for over 40 years. 38 years with the same company. More of a company guy then a union guy.

Aren’t you in union. Or work for a .gov city job Sweeping the streets. 😂

Site for current inflation stats per country. No, we do not all have similar rates of inflation.
