It is not a matter of hope, just realism based on what I know. I've simply accepted the inevitable outcome of the events that have occurred over the last 100 years or so. I think those that don't wake up to the world around them may find themselves blindsided. I know I sound pessimistic, but actually I am hopeful for the future.

The 2008 crash was real and felt by everyone, it surprises me how quickly everyone just forgot because our government said "don't worry we got it!". They just kept doing the same thing they did before after that, and nothing good will come of it as it didn't before. There is plenty of recent economic evidence to support a simple truth that we are not headed for a nice and happy world soon. I refuse to simply watch American Idol and pretend the world is OK like other people knowing such things are going on this very second that caused a global recession last time. Our governments and banks are all liars and thieves, I look after me and mine. I hope I'm wrong, but the consequences are too great if I am right to ignore.
