economics encourage emigration

Following nearly a decade of un- and underemployment, more people are now leaving than are entering the United States. “I had a decent job and a seemingly secure future before the Great Recession hit in oh eight,” said Randal E. Cummings, a machinist from the South. “Then the Fed just up and gave - no-strings-attached - two or three trillion dollars to the banks failing due to greedy and shortsighted practices, however. By doing so, the Fed stole wealth from the masses and gave it to already rich bank executives, who in turn gave themselves raises and million dollar golden parachutes. That just broke the American spirit; this place hasn’t been the same since.” Most of the nations to which the Ynki are relocating sit in Europe and Asia, where strong societal and political controls discourage the election of autocratic blowhards, and where citizens are engaged and informed enough to fight back against government corruption.

Researchers indicate that more people are emigrating from the U.S. than in any year since the start of the Great Depression, another time when banks stole billions from average Americans. “What with all our wealth siphoned off and an orange asshole in the oval office, it’s time to seek greener pastures,” said Yolanda M. Smithey, mother of three. “Land of the free, home of the brave? More like: Get on your knees, you foolish slaves.”

tail and run

Our leaders are scumbags our cops break the law our money’s worth little our glaciers have thawed we poison the waters and dig up the land the sinister killing the dexterous hand. Huge banks receive trillions of dollars to stay afloat open solvent for a few more days the Army’s lost trillions too oh what a bummer but hey listen to this feel-good song for summer. Let’s fiddle along as the whole structure burns and be done with worry and doubt and concern instead lining up with our jackboots on tight with blood set to boil with torches alight. America’s bounty must not be spread out to hardworking peons and upstanding louts - it’s that of the elite who sit at the top who’ve found in taxpayers a sure source to tap who milk and who bilk us then turn tail and run to where they have hidden their wrongly gained sums. If this standard business continues apace there won’t be much left here on Earth for our race but paved-over wetlands but clouds of sour rain but legions of innocents suffering pain. To return to balance most us of must die (at least sixty percent if not eighty-five) whether from starvation or terror event - Mom Nature won’t rest ‘til her full wrath is spent. Sleep well in this knowledge do not get upset for there is some hope and promise for us yet provided we turn from our self-centered ways in these next few shallow and woebegone days.
