It seems to me everyone is missing something rather obvious, and ominous.
The blow-dried, talking head "scientists" on certain cable TV channels tell us over and over that we have "only 12 years to live." And some say it's only 10. And Climate Scientists like Alexandria Occasional-Cortex, the famous Capitol Hill bartender, tells us it's only 8! "Unless," they add, "We are willing to institute draconian, job- and life-killing new laws and rules and regulations to destroy our puny, insignificant proletariat lives by ending the use (and abuse, in their estimation) of hydrocarbon-based energy." As in, stop drilling for oil. Entirely! What's the "existential threat" we face? "Global warming?" Or is it now "Climate change?"
I guess that means they believe that the climate changes. I would wholeheartedly agree. Just not as much as they seem to think it does...
Well, it seems to me that we're all going to die a in a fiery Hell unless or until we pass new laws turning American into Venezuela, which I kind of doubt will happen. So, if we're really headed down that pathway, why not just give up and decide to stop throwing money at that 401(k), and stop saving that 10% off the top, and stop tithing or putting a few extra bucks away under the mattress for that rainy day, and just...
...BLOW IT!
If we only have 12 years to live unless the Gummint undertakes to destroy our way of life by deconstructing some 240 years of our industrial and economic and social progress, then now might be the time to blow our savings and party like it's 1999!
Go buy that new Corvette! Dump the wife and hit on the boss's secretary! Take that extended cruise! Get that tummy and eye tuck! Become a beachcomber in Fiji! I mean, there's no sense saving if we're all going to die! And while we're at it, why raise taxes on the rich or anyone else if we're all going to die? And thus, I ask rhetorically, why try to pass any new legislation at all when we're all going to die? Why go to work or collect taxes or anything else when we're all going to die?
Why do anything but lay on a beach and suck down raspberry margaritas and smoke dope if we're all just going to die?
So, join with me, fellow Patriots, and suggest to AOC and her fellow sycophants that they take my advice and simply Blow It!
It would sure be fun to watch, wouldn't it?
