Once more, this is not a pandemic, it is a global reorganization of labor and resources and the unwind of the old economy. It provided good cover for every one of their operations, gave them greater power and control, broke the back of the middle classes and emptied the pockets of everyone who wasn’t already dependent on government.

Spot On HSF….

“It provided good cover for every one of their operations…”

It was also an OBVIOUS cover for those who could see.

The frustrating part is no one wants to see. The general public has been dipped in FEAR & PROPAGANDA.

So glad that the fate of country is in the hands of McConnell, Pelosi and some asshole New Yorkers.
Great job, Republicans.
Go fuck yourselves.
And Democrats, you’ve been a lost cause for decades, of course, but thank you, once again, for all you’ve done to this country. Look in the mirror, acknowledge what you’ve done, and then permanently fuck off.

Can’t say it too many times. Siege NYC and DC. Extremely easy to do from a geographical standpoint.

FREE THE WORLD!

Even the pawn shops have been taken over by the likes of E-Bay. All by design. Any small or medium business left standing will be tightly controlled. Welcome to feudalism by November.

You are too optimistic. The useful idiots must believe until they are no longer needed. It will be feudalism for whitey. We won’t see the comeuppance of our little enemy until we are dead. Pray heaven has a good view.

I didn’t state that they would be aware of it right away. It’s not a new plan.

That may come true Fleabaggs. This is going to be a rough and tough summer I be thinking.

O.T.
It won’t be smooth going for sure. I don’t expect “Them” to waste all the ill will between races they have invested in but it’s not hot and humid enough yet. Back in the bad old days tempers flared when it hit 90 and 90 in the northern rust belt.

“War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.”

-Carl von Clausewitz

I am pretty certain that what we are witnessing is a war being carried out using different means against an enemy that doesn’t realize it is under attack.

This is October 1917. This is a globalist coup d’etat and the Heritage Americans are the Dumas. And they actually believe that their government is trying to fix things. 9/11 gave them the courage to do this and now, here we are, on our way to the house of special purpose.

Amazing to watch it unfold with 99% of the audience sound asleep.

“The political object is the goal, war is the means of reaching it, and the means can never be considered in isolation from their purposes.”

-Carl von Clausewitz

Will the government bill the small business owner for the cost of the 9mm cartridge, as they do in China?

You bet they will. The government always wants “their money first”. That is unless it is being paid with 9mil currency.

Small businesses are individually too insignificant to save. Boeing, may it rot in hell, Employs 150,000. So if it goes under, around 1 million jobs will be lost via it and it’s supply chain. That tends to get attention, no matter how evil it has been.

Small businesses will fold by the hundreds of thousands. Most were destined to do that within five years, just not all at once. That is the lot of small business – they almost all go under.

So, when the dust settles, there will be a giant void. And small business will rush back in to fill it. Big business does not want that business, or they would already have taken it.

Big business uses small business to keep costs down. The marked-up cost of an hour of labor at say Boeing or GM is huge. So they outsource a lot of work to smaller business so as to keep costs down, and they keep only those jobs that define them. GM does not manufacture cars for instance. They take all the bits others manufacture and assemble them. GM is aa designer and an assembler, not a manufacturer. Same largely goes for Boeing.

So do not write off small business. I believe this may be a once in a hundred year opportunity – eventually. Sucks at the moment, though.

Reality sometimes does suck. The problem is, will the ass-hats that created this shit storm get their “reality”?

Great analysis, L1poh! I was thinking something similar today. Lots of people will be on unemployment and will love it! I know, but the other side of the sword cuts later. The gap in employment may mean goodbye job opportunities, but perhaps there will be a window of opportunity to get in with a big gap in work history. It depends on how many people park on unemployment. Given how they have been treated, I bet many will stay there. It is an opportunity for early movers to get employed, though the pickings will be slim. They may never be good, but the will get worse once people come off unemployment. Of course, the foreign workers may fill the void. But anyway, if one needs a job, one would be wise to try after things loosen up.
