NEW RELEASE: Apocalypse Economics
Surviving the apocalypse isn’t just about the supplies you can store and the land you can buy; it’s about risk, knowledge, and the people around you. No man is an island, and the more dangerous the world gets, the more essential it becomes to understand how that works. So, when an apocalypse comes and you need to trade, how do you determine what things are worth? How can you tell if you made a bad deal, a good deal, or a deadly deal? And how do you determine who to trust enough to trade with in the first place?
Apocalypse Economics: Barter Boys and Bullion Barons is a guide to help you understand what you are working with, how to determine value despite the stress and chaos of emergencies, and how to establish a micro economy to help you rebuild. When the world is burning, trust is the most powerful currency, and we need to understand how to earn it, when to spend it, and how it affects the value of everything else in the market. Take an afternoon to read about beans, bullets, and bullion, and learn how valuable your preps are, and how to land yourself a good deal rather than an early grave. amazon.com/dp/B0G361QXKP

It appears most of MAGA has learned nothing and they are persisting in blaming the people they betrayed instead of doing any introspection.
I've said it for decades, Republicans only ever have one year out of a 4 year term to get anything accomplished. After the first year our political system forces you to focus on the midterms and after that (if you don't lose majorities) you are focused on the next presidential election. Even in the best case scenario you get ONE year. That is why we all raised alarm bells the moment Trump proposed the BBB (which was a huge pork and spending increase) and you all said the cuts would come later. We all knew there is never a later, there is only ever the first year.
For all you desperate MAGA holdouts I need you to understand something. It wouldn't have mattered how many of us loud former coalition members had stayed silent and 'trusted the plan', this still would have happened. We always say facts don't care about your feelings. Pretending Trump was fulfilling his campaign promises would not have been supporting the party, it would have been participation in a doomed attempt at gaslighting. You can't gaslight away basic reality. The economy is inescapable. 4A is inescapable. Wars are not silent background noise. Immigration isn't fixed just because you say it is. The promises were not kept and no amount of participation in the lie that they were kept would have convinced enough people to keep voting red for it to have mattered. We weren't loud to fight you and hurt our chances, we were shouting about these problems because our ONLY chance to beat the democrats was a complete about face. To keep the voters you lost you would have had to admit Trump F'd up year one and banded together to correct both his and your behavior. When you all chanted 'trust the plan' on repeat you doomed us to this fate, a minimum of 2 more years of blue hell. Despite you treating us like the enemy whenever we asked for discussion we kept trying. From the moment we raised red flags about the pork filled massive spending increase of the BBB you started calling us traitors, but we never betrayed you, we were trying to save you. With all our might we were trying to save you, and you hated us for it.
Now that the Democrats are back in charge watch Republicans flip and realize that government surveillance like Flock is actually bad.
