Well, Aside from watching the savings swirl around the drain, the uncertainty if I will ever work another well as a geologist, not getting enough hours on the current job, I'm still a mite optimistic. The job is outside, no contact, and essential, so maybe that will improve.
But overall, some scattered videos have shown me a couple of things. Aside from the looting and burning riots, the numbers at these demonstrations don't seem to be as great as the Media are trying to portray. It's a typical Bolshevik tactic of saying you are in the majority when actually your numbers are relatively few. Sure, some show up for something to do, the lockdowns have been tough, but others are tired of the BS, are tired of being played (as Blacks generally are at this point) and are, I believe tired of the petty tyranny of feeling unable to speak their minds against any of this crap, even as they watch their businesses or jobs go up in smoke.
People are getting tired of do-nothing politicians who have allowed lawless zones to proliferate, are tired of the destruction of memorials, which no longer have to have anything to do with slaves, and just want their lives back without all the crap. A growing number of whites, despite the media BS, are saying "Hell NO! I'm not taking a knee. I never owned or mistreated anyone, and I'll be damned if I'm kissing anyone's ass just because it is darker than mine."
So, I think the "revolution" is more fake news, not that destruction and death hasn't accompanied it, just that it doesn't have the broad based support the media would have us believe. When (as in
@DCPatriot 's video) a black woman with an apparently hand crafted (not slick preprinted) sign is holding up something that says "Stop pretending that you give a F***", there is a narrative we are not getting from the media, where what bleeds leads and fire is above the fold. (Good news may be found, occasionally, in the legal notices).
We are not getting the whole story, and what we are getting is seriously skewed. So, there's hope. Keep your powder dry and get in your range time just in case, but put a mite more faith in The Almighty. We'll survive all this, too.
