The love of my life is convinced this is the end of the Pig Empire. That we've sustained a lethal injury along the artery (the one what pumps oil, not blood) and this all just dinosaur thrashing now.

I'm not inclined to believe him yet, but not because I don't think A) we deserve it, and B) it would be better for the species - but simply because I don't think we're that lucky. Americans will not get a dignified stroll into the shadows like the British did. This has to play out now.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I think it is over, but I think it's gonna fall more like the Romans than the British. It's going to be brutal. It's going to be long. If you can, get out now. If you can't, keep your head down or fight hard to be part of the rebuilding. Something better might re-emerge in its place, but not without effort and sacrifice.
