[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do wonder if it is just one person answering every single post in this thread with a negative outlook.  That person seems pretty assured of their vision, but I don't think that DOGE cuts are actually causing the next Great Depression.[/quote]

I lived through a collapse of the federal govt in USSR in 90's.  It was ugly for everyone and will affect all of us because things provided by a stable government are not that easily visible until they become unavailable.  Most people are just so "me, me, me" focused and lack any sort of historic perspective on how bad this shit can get if we let wealthy widen the wealth gap to the point were we live in a sort of Dickensian future.  Go read Dickens or Steinbeck if you think it can never get bad in the western world.  Bottom is limitless!  "Boar on the floor" game, anyone![/quote]

I also lived in a former USSR state, and I think those of us that did are hearing a lot of alarm bells. There are differences, of course, but the similarities are starting to become concerning.

I agree that hopelessness can take on a form of spiraling, but ignorance of what's happening in your own government is dangerous. The eyerolls and the responses like "the rest of the country doesn't care about this" or "no one else is affected at all right now" responses are not very enlightening; of course a lot of people don't care about things until they are personally affected. This recession, which seems foregone by this point, is going to take some time to roll out. I truly hope that I am wrong, but I truly think many people who aren't paying attention at all right now will be personally affected by the end of this year. I want to be prepared and not caught off guard. [/quote]

so you and the other PP from post-soviet countries mention 'being aware' and 'being prepared.'  Being aware is not preparing.  so what are you doing to 'prepare'?  [/quote]
