@kimlockhartga Well at least two of us are close in opinion.đŸ¤Ŗ
@kimlockhartga just making minimum payments at the last moment 😄
@JustaJason007 @elverkonge We gonna need every dollah for food and power. I predict armed guards at grocery stores in the (not immediate, but eventual) future. The number of adults already skipping meals so their kids can eat is extraordinary.
@kimlockhartga @elverkonge Yes ma'am. I remember the commodity lines myself. I have a feeling we might see quite a lot of "New" people there. Or at least people who never thought it could happen to them. Such a shame that it is always avoidable. I remember seeing the lines of people coming to the city center here for supplies after a hurricane. Lots of suburbans and tahoes and lexus' in that line. I don't think it sunk in to them either cause they went ahead and did this crap again.
The United States of Amnesia is a good read if you're interested.
@JustaJason007 @elverkonge Dent Hardin? Put it on my TBR.
Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia - Wikipedia

@JustaJason007 @elverkonge oh okay. Apparently, there is more than one book with that title.
Its probably just as good with a title like that so......😂
@JustaJason007 @elverkonge I had a free book award available, so ordered it today. Thanks!

@kimlockhartga @elverkonge shit! I see you the wrong damn thing. đŸ¤Ŗ

This is the book I have. https://a.co/d/0jh9Mpjw

Amazon.com

@JustaJason007 @elverkonge I figured it out.
@kimlockhartga @elverkonge sorry. I'm old so there's an excuse. đŸĢ 
@JustaJason007 @elverkonge Aren't you younger than I am? 😁
@kimlockhartga I missed the word "some" and picked "Zero" because the web company Yahoo doesn't have nukes AFAIK.

@johnefrancis Ha ha ha!

I have been reminded not to use mental health epithets for people who exasperate me. So, that requires a more creative list of nouns like yahoos, assholes, or jerks.

@kimlockhartga @johnefrancis Cockwombles. Fartlepants. Dithermump. Chumpface. Turniphead.
@kimlockhartga dumbasses seems to be useful
@johnefrancis still has dumb in the name, though. Just trying to do the right thing, or at least more often.

@kimlockhartga

With the King of Stupidity running faster and faster towards even more whacked-out stunts to keep his shenanigans from landing his neck under a blade... I'm right at the cusp of high risk and am leaning heavily into the "inevitable" column.

If anyone is capable of going to absolutely any length of uber-chaos to save himself, it's him.

WWIII isn't a 'concept of a plan' when you've got access to the button and you're desperate... it becomes the plan.

@lumiworx I actually looked up to see the point of no return in terms of initiating nuclear winter, due to the detonation of nuclear warheads, and it's somewhere around 100. There are at least 12,500 available that we know of.

@kimlockhartga

Holy hell. I never even considered those kinds of numbers.

Just the thought of firing one, to me, would be like striking the world's biggest war match. I'd think that would be more than enough to start the atomic dominoes falling from everywhere else.

Contemplating several or ten or a hundred or more... I can't fathom how cruel and evil that is in coming from another human being.
