People’s minds are growing numb to the madness. This is very similar to what happened in Soviet Russia in the five years leading up to the collapse of the government.
It does seem rather similar to the collapse of Soviet Russia. Increasingly little confidence in the government by citizens all across the country. States that increasingly aren’t seeing any benefit in existing as part of the union. Its quite uncanny actually.
There are differences of course bcz there isn’t as big of different ethnic groups concentrated throughout the country ready to start their own countries bcz they never wanted to be part of the country in the first place.
I really dont want to find out whats on the other side of that scenario for us, but it doesn’t seem completely unlikely.
I figure we’ll see smaller inter-state alliances forming into regional powers. Most likely all of the states that have larger populations will gain a lot of power relative to those with smaller populations. In all likelihood the stratification of wealth will accelerate even further into an absolutely obscene spectacle. The oligarchs will win, in the short term at least, if the federal government falls.
California, Oregon, and Washington kinda do already. All three states often tie legislation to the other two states also passing it. Like locking daylight savings in place if Washington hadn’t dropped the ball.
Spring/Summer/Autumn time should be made permanent; Winter time should be abolished. Stop stealing the only unallocated hour of winter daylight we get for ourselves.
Buy Little Johnny a PT Belt and a flashlight for the three weeks a year he has to walk to school in the dark, and give him an hour after school to play outside with his friends.

You sure? Black separatism was big in the 60s and 70s, and once the dissolution of the Union filters into the wider public consciousness, you’ll probably see Latinos want to do their own thing.

Saved the ball you mean. Daylight-saving time is a curse which should be abolished not set in stone.
Spring/Summer/Autumn time should be made permanent; Winter time should be abolished. Stop stealing the only unallocated hour of winter daylight we get for ourselves.

At this point I’m down for either daylight time or standard time as long as we stop changing back and forth!
