Predictions from Zero_Sum and a heart felt greeting.

It is no secret that I hate and despise this world Biggie, I have my reasons.

A hard reset of civilization was inevitable, it is either that or humanity destroys itself.

That’s not what is of interest to me though. We all have reasons for many of the things we think and feel and say and do.

But why one set of reasons and not another? In regard to the way things are or in how one would like to see them reset.

How are the reasons we give in regard to moral and political value judgments the embodiment of dasein more or less than a capacity on our part [in a philosophy venue] to defend them as more or less rational.

And then the extent to which any number of philosophers make the connection between a rational frame of mind and a virtuous frame of mind. And then those of a religious bent who make a further connection between that and immortality and salvation.

I’m just someone intent more on discussing these relationships out in the world of actual human interactions. A world that today is descending into a collective reality that may well engender calamitous consequences for any number of people. Including children and all those who have little or nothing to do with making the world the shithole that it already was for millions before this latest calamity.

But I’m not someone able to criticize anyone who does not think about it the way that I do. Why? Because the way I think about it myself is no less the embodiment of “I” as an existential contraption.

And, in a No God world, I have thought myself into believing that in the absence of God all moral and political frames of mind really are permitted. It’s just a matter of how fractured and fragmented others are who do think like me.

Me, I am looking for empathy no less than others who are able embrace the real me in sync with the right thing to do. There are just far fewer of me around. Or, rather, based on my own experiences, there are.

I am who I am all imperfections included, that even your logic seeking analysis has to accept, I have one set of values just as I have one sense of self. You really do like overcomplicating things my man.

Haven’t left my residence in six days. I remember it like yesterday, I quit my job on the 13th and people thought I was nuts or crazy, I bet they don’t think such now. If anything I had the foresight before anybody else.

Doing good on food and water supplies currently, I’m thinking I have enough to get me through two to three months realistically.

I’m out of cigarettes though for the last twenty four hours and all I can think about is the energy drinks that I don’t have as I crave for sugar.

I’m also thinking of that skinny blonde twenty year old at the local grocery store and how I wish that I could have her body. I wish that blonde twenty year old was with me right now. Six days of quarantine, so much fun.

By the way, they’re already discussing global economic depression right now.

So in a moment of weakness I ordered a bunch of last minute cigarettes online via mailing. God damn it, I will not be denied a cigarette watching the entire world burn.

When the United States finally economically implodes where the DOW is something like 5000 I want a drag of a decent cigarette while watching.

They’ve tried everything they could to breach beyond DOW 20,000 but every time they try they’re unable to.

By tomorrow or Monday the DOW will drop down to 17,000 - 18,000.

The rubicon of course is 15,000 because once that number is reached it essentially means the United States government has lost all control. 15,000 is the martial law number of the DOW because I suspect after that number has been breached nationwide martial law will not be too far behind it.

Also, can a motherfucker get an 8pack of Rockstar Energy Drinks mailed to him?

No, fuck you, I don’t want a 24pack, I want a fucking 8pack! God damn it! 24packs are way too expensive.

That shit is like my own personal sugar high and champagne. I’m getting tired of bottled water. :laughing: :sunglasses:

I wonder what the goddamn communists are saying about it.

marxist.com/coronavirus-pan … istory.htm

Sounds to me like a ‘told ya, dumbass’ or a ‘you axed for it’.

I don’t like crony capitalism like the next person however the communists are not going to be able to do shit when nations like the United States file chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Update: Italy has declared martial law, New York City set to shutdown entirely.

My best estimate is complete total nationwide martial law over the weekend, Monday or Tuesday next week the latest. Now would be the time to withdraw cash from your bank or ATM machines before it is too late.

I did some reconnaissance in my local area today gloves and mask at hand. Bought me a pack of cigarettes and got me an energy drink also where I drank it like it was my last one.

Everybody in my area is talking about cash becoming worthless overnight, I watched a woman at a gas station buy $100.00 in lottery tickets, shit! [What was going on in that woman’s mind?]

The fear is palpable everywhere, people are panicking and flipping the fuck out.

I’ve also noticed in my town of 2000 people a heavy police presence everywhere, I never seen so many police officers in one setting everywhere before especially in my rural area. What do the local cops know that everybody else doesn’t?

Grocery stores are packed full of vehicles and inside everything including fresh vegetables or fruits are being picked dry. Heavy traffic of trucks and cars could be seen everywhere. People are walking the streets everywhere also.

Shit is getting serious folks…

And then of course this part:

If our self-proclaimed ‘wartime president’ were to declare martial law to fight the pandemic, would he have the authority to suspend the election in November? Josh Douglas, an election law scholar at the University of Kentucky Law School, doesn’t believe so. “Even [martial law] would likely not give him power to postpone election or delay end of his term on Jan. 20, 2021,” he tweeted. “As Supreme Court said in ex parte Milligan (1866), martial law does not suspend the Constitution.” from truthdig

It really comes down to how “for all practical purposes” the military actually does react to anything he calls for.

It’s certainly a distinct possibility. :-k

We’re getting closer to my DOW 15,000 mark. DOW 15,000 is when the military lockdown begins in my humble opinion. My guess, between Monday-Wednesday next week. A distinct possibility concerning Sunday overnight markets also going into Monday morning.

Enforcing martial law effectively will only be possible in major cities… this is where the bulk of military and paramilitary resources will concentrate. In smaller cities, only local law enforcement is available. The sheriff, the POleece, and local SWAT. Which meeeans… you have a much better chance of getting your groove on in a smaller city. And I can tell you this; they ain’t fixin to tell me that I caint leave the crib to go find some grub. Nah fuck that. Niggas betta come correct if they comin fuh the kid.

If they enforce martial law amid a viral pandemic it’s only a matter of time until the order shoot on site takes effect.
