This year is already depressing.

□ [“California is Now a ‘Sanctuary State’ For Transgender Children"]

How much would it cost to build a wall around California?  That and send all the insane children and their abusive parents there to stay forever?  Northern California might be willing to help out.

The main worry is that California does have airports and access to the ocean.  In theory, rocket launchers might help stop them from escaping but overall, it probably wouldn't be hard to escape.

It's not just California that's the problem though, every big city does this, no matter what state they're located in.  Perverts can thrive there and grow worse over time.  People in the country do have to maintain a sense of reality, at least if they want to eat every day, and even more if they produce food for others to eat every day.

Going on strike would mean the rulers and their servants can't see anyone who has dropped out, they can only see each other.  They can only abuse each other.  This has long been understood, from "Town Mouse and Country Mouse" to Ayn Rand.

Indiana City Bans Pet Shop From Selling Cats and Dogs

Last year they built up a bunch of laws to impose on us now, taxes and removal of transportation.  They're ignoring all the real laws, freeing the prisoners to attack us, and making up new so-called laws to punish decent people with.  They've broken the medical system, the supply chain, the borders.  They've still got a pretend-virus to excuse any new rules they come up with.

When will it break down?  I'm honestly surprised we made it through 2022.  I was hoping that the truckers would go on strike and that would stop them in their tracks, but it still hasn't happened.  Instead, things just look more hopeless on a daily basis and nobody's standing up against it.

At some level, we can't lose hope, but we can definitely lose sanity.  We're not begging for death but we're getting close to the point where we don't much care.  How can we let them just devour us without even fighting back?  Whatever their plans are, it won't improve our lives but they still get more and more control without resistance.

□ [“Democrats to Increase Taxes in 2023 During Highest Inflation in 40 Years and Worst Stock-Bond-Equity Losses Since 1871"]

It's always about sucking more out of us.  There's taxes on income, stock, oil, coal and natural gas which will all be passed on to the consumers.  They might not stop even when actual disaster arrives, they certainly won't stop before then.

Is this what they're deliberately aiming for or is it just absolute insanity that they *think* it'll work this time?  How can you even tell the difference?  Hell, how do you even get to this point?

It's government worship, which I think is basically part of the collectivist mentality.  We're not individuals, we're just parts of a larger entity, which only the rulers understand.  If government just makes its own money, then it can drop all taxes and not notice the difference.  Then there's the 'one world' belief that they can bring everyone together in unison.  This will just make things worse, which will make our rulers happy.

□ [“Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar Calls For Regulations on Social Media Companies For 'Misinformation, Disinformation'"]

And they always go straight for censorship.  I'm sure their servants are threatened by this and they seek to be unquestioningly obedient, but the censorship is only noticeable on people who disagree with the rulers.  There's never any 'we'll just have to disagree.'

That's what she says here, the government will sue social media companies if they don't censor anyone who disagrees.  This is how fascism works, government commands private companies to keep the peons in line.  There is no freedom, there is nothing without government permission.

Collectivists do think of themselves as naturally in charge, being 'superior' to everybody who doesn't 'see everything.'  Individuals focus on their own issues, collectivists don't even perceive of that, except in a negative way which is their goal to prevent all others from doing.  I suppose it's fundamentally atheism because belief in any higher power would require them to acknowledge there are things outside of government control, which they refuse to accept.

NASA chief warns China could claim territory on the moon if it wins new 'space race'

Haven't heard anything yet about outrageous details from Trump's tax forms.  Nobody's points to any blatant disregard of the laws.  It's just the rulers deciding they can do whatever they want and nobody can stop them, but don't dare treat them that way or you'll be punished.

The Russia collusion went nowhere, two impeachments went nowhere, the FBI raid on Mara-Lago went nowhere, the January 6 committee went nowhere, now there's this.  What will they do next because they're not going to stop going after him?

They could look at the tax laws, but that would take work.  Trump obviously obeyed them.  Rich people have to go through a bunch of loopholes that most of us don't even comprehend, and I wonder if half-the-reason is just so that rich people are required to spend tons of money on lawyers and accountants.  If you're not paying for all these employees, you pay higher taxes.

But that doesn't satisfy Democrats, so now they'll go after anyone who spends more than $600.  Because that's how much they care.
