A Marilyn Manson song floats by as I contemplate about the world economy.

“Next mothafucker’s gonna get my medal,” the intro goes. Yeah, my middle finger, I say and prepare for my departure. Next thing I know some punter has slid a comment up my crack and I gotta answer some shit-feedback. Man, you can’t even take a dump in peace in this town without having to answer a mail, in like, a nano second before your phone starts to ring like a virus is running wild. It used to be quiet around here but then the financial boat with the worlds money in its belly suddenly floated up again.

Some places have not been so lucky. People are losing jobs and houses, sleeping in their BMW, in tents or under some bush in the park, going to free meal programs and trying to hang on to the last threads of their former life. Society are facing something resembling the great depression and the nations without a safety net are the ones with the most casualties. Reports from the US shows us how wrong it all can go. The Great Nation surely got slapped across the chin by its own hand. There used to be a saying, “The new rich”. Now its “The new poor”, and these people are falling hard. Just think about how it must feel to pull up by the front door of charity in that black BMW just to get a meal, not to starve for the next 12-hours. That guy must feel the whirlpool tugging at his feet like a hungry monster, waiting to swallow him whole.

But in time man will prevail, society will rise and rebuild itself. It always does. Rome fell but man stood strong. Germany attacked its fellow Europeans but the continent survived yet another tyrant. Well, it was indeed with the help of the one nation always willing to stand up against madmen. Lot of shit can be said about USAs foreign politics today and in the recent past, but they rolled up their sleeves and gave us a lot of lives to help push the Hitler area down the drain. We must not forget that. Before I lose my track completely and get sidetracked like Alzheimer City; this is not about war, right or wrong. This is about money. About finances. About the piggy bank getting robbed by a kid high on sugar, ready for yet another trip to the candy store.

So as my working days are escalating again and I get more and more to do, I know that there are still people out there who struggle to even get by. White people from the upper class are experiencing what it’s like to lose big time. What it’s like to fall through the trapdoor and into the gutter, from mansions to trailer parks, living like a refugee in a tent camp in the middle of a big City, in modern society.

What this hour, in the human way, needs is yet another war. War always gets the money rolling. War always bring people together. War is good business. Always has been, always will be. The problem is, this is as wrong as it can get. When you go to sleep, watch the sky and be aware, someday shit will fall from the sky like the first snow of winter, and you’ll know a new pair of gloves won’t be enough to get you through that winter. And all this because some geezer see the potential in yet another war. Fuck it, I’m going to bed.
