Endless growth in social services without bankruptcy is not going to happen. Americans tolerating riots by the diversity, or Venezuelan starvation, is not going to happen. Which leaves the collapse to various-sized compounds of like-minded, some of them large, as what IS going to happen. We might anticipate one of those compounds will be called "Utah".<br /><br />Used to be, unpopular tax collectors could be tarred and feathered and run out of town, and the revolutionaries would not lose their normal lives. No longer. This compresses the global reset into a faster, sharper shock with more overshoot. Overall, technology has a liberating and decentralizing effect. That means the technological singularity will drive towards maximum liberty. The cost and anonymity of putting homemade pistols on homemade drones keeps doing down.

Invest now in drones big enough to carry IMAX cameras, the live action is going to be spectacular when the political dam breaks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-71719062992104606642018-07-16T12:10:02.516-07:002018-07-16T12:10:02.516-07:00Spousal rape was legal in the US until a very shor...Spousal rape was legal in the US until a very short time ago <br /><br />. The criminalization of marital rape in the United States started in the mid-1970s and by 1993 marital rape became a crime in all 50 states, under at least one section of the sexual offense codes. During the 1990s, most states differentiated between the way marital rape and non-marital rape were treated. The laws have continued to change and evolve, with most states reforming their legislation in the 21st century, but differences remain in some states, in particular in South Carolina.<br /><br />The reason for this is that marriage was assumed to have an open ended sexual consent component attached to it.<br /><br />There are long standing historical reasons for this, good ones actually but that is another discussion. <br /><br />That said I agree 100% in an immigration freeze and if we deport anyone with have a legal pretext to use this would also help, AB.Prospernoreply@blogger.com
