Retribution

So we’re all going to die. Is it pessimism to believe that? Or Realistic. I don’t mean personally or eventually either. I mean, as in humanity will perish.. soon. How can it not?! Or only hope I guess is that the earth is so much more resilient and amazing than we can fathom. I’m not trying to be all nuttsy fruitcake here either. I’m not really into the all Mother Earth, vegan, yogi fasting bull. I’m just saying any rational being of intelligence and worth wants to keep their living environment in such a state as it will continue to support life.
There are countries all over the world with waste problems. Nuclear, pesticides, miscellaneous garbage… I mean if you think this country has waste problems think of a third world country. What the hell do we expect?! In some sense I wish I will be here when the earth finally does stop supporting life. I just want to be here when the colonization of planets ahs failed, we finally realize this is all we got, and I will laugh. I will laugh and laugh, and I will say “What did you expect Jerks!”
You can’t eat money.
Which is admittedly a flawed statement if you catch it in the light of “yes but I can buy food with it.” Which is a misunderstanding of the phrase. It’s really, after the economy collapses, you can’t eat money. Ask Germany after WW I when it took an armful of deutschemarks to buy bread. We think that in this country we are invincible and isolated but we aren’t. Someday the reckoning will come and we’ll be caught with our pants around our ankles reading Vogue on the toilet. It happened before…
