It is interesting when you talk to people at parties. First they tell you all is great, and then ask a few harmless probing questions and you realize anxiety is skyrocketing out of control. Many want to talk about it but are uncomfortable raising the issue. People are concerned as more and more of their coworkers are being let go...they are now afriad to voice an opinion at the job, or anywhere for that matter, for fear they might be next.
Once you get people going, they talk about their friends that were let go a year ago and still unable to find replacement work. They discuss how their children's friends are graduating from college and many are working as cooks to earn money....or some low paying job unrelated to their field or being forced to work for free just to gain experience.
Those that own businesses are struggling with laying off long time employees and barely able to keep the ship afloat. Many are going without insurance and are taking home a fraction of the income they used to.....
They know something is wrong...but since they are still working.....many are curling up into a shell and prefer not to probe the difficult questions. Anger over the bank bailouts is mounting but discussing it in public is too uncomfortable.
Many realize times are changing....and many are afraid of the uncertainty. There now appears to be two camps forming...a growing number that lost their jobs and are really angry at government, the system, and what lies ahead.....and those that still have jobs but have anxiety and are too scared to rock the boat.
Either way....as more and more businesses shut down, more cities, counties and states cut back, and more suffer massive wage cuts.....fear, anxiety and anger is only likely to increase.
It seems some of the sheep are getting fangs.....things could get really interesting as more and more get Zombulated and begin to truly understand what is happening around them.
Truly...11.10.9 is when more and more are starting to feel.
Others are taking a different path to preparation:
HERE IS HOW ONE PERSON PREPARES FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE:
Nov. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s managers may deliver more cost cuts to Chief Executive Officer Warren Buffett after the billionaire replaced Richard Santulli as the head of a money-losing plane-leasing unit.
Berkshire executives have eliminated jobs and closed plants as the sale of bricks, jewelry and luxury flights suffered in the recession.
HERE IS HOW ANOTHER DOES:
Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez told the military and civil militias today to prepare for war as a deterrent to a U.S.-led attack after American troops gained access to military bases in neighboring Colombia.
Chavez said a recently signed agreement that gives American troops access to seven Colombian bases is a direct threat to his oil-exporting country. Colombia has handed over its sovereignty to the U.S. with the deal, he said.
“Generals of the armed forces, the best way to avoid a war is to prepare for one,” Chavez said in comments on state television during his weekly “Alo Presidente” program. “Colombia handed over their country and is now another state of the union. Don’t make the mistake of attacking: Venezuela is willing to do anything.”
