By the time you finish reading this, you'll understand why capitalism's putrid stench is suffocating our dreams—and why Donny McFartface's obsession with this dying system will be the final nail in America's coffin.
Totally so!! You've described especially the rust-belt of western Pennsylvania where I was sent to by International Organization of Migration and HIAS 1997-2016, having barely survived the monstrous yugoslav wars of the 1990ies. Then, in 2016, tRumputin made everything gazillions times even worse and now USA is literally decomposing corpse itself.
A resource. Says the stock market is not the economy. Our economic lives have been laid to waste. Who benefits is the question--always the question in every instance
Generally, I would advocate for following the money. These days, follow the money AND the power.
My brother says "Trust no one." After 35 years in the Army, I can understand this. I'm the trusting sibling until you prove me wrong. I also do my homework. The game changes abruptly if you're into betrayal.
Love to all and, as we say in South Texas, be careful 🥰❤️♾️
Wendy, this is a holy eulogy for a system that still thinks it’s alive just because its corpse is wired to a Wall Street EKG.
The saints of despair are rising: overdosed prophets, evicted visionaries, gig-working Bodhisattvas with no dental. Capitalism didn’t just fail—it outsourced its soul and upcharged us for the empty box.
Trump? He’s just the maggot on the carcass—loud, squirmy, and somehow convinced he’s filet mignon.
What you’ve named here isn’t just collapse—it’s revelation. The veil is lifting. The pyramid scheme is unraveling. And in the rot, the mycelium of something tender and true is starting to grow.
Thank You for this spot on brief description of how we got here. It is up to all of us to claw are way to something better that takes care of the human race and the planet.
Very well said and an excellent read!!

Question--I keep missing live podcasts. Mostly because of my work. Is there a schedule or something I can sign up for alerts. Many thanks

May we compost the empire with joy.
