The World in 2024 is.....
....looking even crappier than 2023 when it ended.
The year is four days old and already it feels just as tiresome and as loathsome as 2023 was when it concluded its dismal run. COVID in the rear view with all its scientific half truths reverberated throughout last year and if as if that was not enough more madness in the early innings of 2024. Just a few reasons for my distain for the new year in no particular order since it began.
“A new batch of unsealed documents pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of teenage girls was released Thursday, adding several hundred pages to the fountain of information detailing how the financier leveraged connections to the rich, powerful and famous to recruit his victims and cover up his crimes.” CTV news 1/4/2024. The sewage of the elite and from the media just keeps on coming.
“….according to the latest data from Ipsos, a global average of 70 percent of respondents say they feel optimistic that their 2024 will be better than 2023. This is 15 percentage points up from last year, which was the lowest score on record since Ipsos started running the survey.” So says Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge.
Then from one of my favorite Rumble commentators and writer colleague at Substack, Lena Petrova:
How the G7 and the EU can talk about Rules Based World after dreaming up this catastrophic policy is beyond me. BRICS now with 6 new members has more value in GDP than the G7. How is that going to work out for the Rules Based folks?
“Today, the United States is over $34 trillion in debt, around 120 percent of our GDP—more than it was even during World War II. A bit over $7 trillion of that—the value of the entire U.S. annual budget—is held by foreigners. We are on our way to $1 trillion a year in debt service, more than our defense budget. And the $10 your grandmother stuck in your birthday card that was lost in the commotion of your birthday party in 1971 would, if found today, be worth $1.20.” Authored by J.G.Collins via The Epoch Times. If that is not enough nobody seems to be in charge of the border of Europe and North America and it looks like that is on purpose.
