End Of Year Advice: 2025
As I leave a Gatsby-esque site, my thoughts going forward in this raging age of vengeance and retribution are to stay close to the tit of the one percent, because it's going to get real rough until we can get things turned around.
I learned this from growing up near Winter Park, Florida. Keep a very low profile and go into incognito if you must. Because, like the quote in the movie Dirty Dancing, 'these people are mean.' They won't go quietly. Many of us will be crushed. They will make some of us an example of what happens when you cross them.
With Trump's failing health, the only things that will keep him going are his hatred and desire for vengeance. This is growing exponentially as scandals and low polling mount. In the end, this will be the only thing he believes in. As a result, he will hurt as many people as he can.
But we will prevail, and the now-emboldened neo-American oligarchy will recede back into the elite shadows and behind the tall garden walls after Trump's reign of terror. Trump will be gone and the one percent will be fine. They always are.
For us, we will have to ride out their rage of unrequited greed and interrupted lust for more riches. They'll get over it, and we will claw back lost individual rights and a portion of the obscene wealth they are hoarding, never to be fully utilized in 100 lifetimes.
Our day will come, but for now, hunker down. Good day and good luck.
