I guess we're just waiting for the big asteroid to hit...
Will you settle for a Carrington type Event taking out the power grid? Look up Sunspot AR3590.
Things have been getting bad for awhile. Even before the migrant crisis, our country belittled it's police force after the George Floyd riots, neutered our military with woke policies, gave squatters more rights than home owners during Covid bringing us closer to Communism, and now we are persecuting land developers for nearly half a billion dollars with no victims. Criminals see that they run the country and can do whatever they want. At the moment, they're right.
Locally in San Diego County, we have two Walmart's just closed (Mission Valley and El Cajon Mall). Our church youth group hasn't been down to Mission Beach in years because of all the homeless everywhere and the weekly shootings and stabbings. Police response time is over 45 minutes, used to be under 15. They are now hiring illegal aliens to be police officers in CA. There are hookers walking the streets in broad daylight in the southern part of our county near schools. The county legalized it. The state is trying to pass a law to require each gun owned in the state be registered yearly with a to be determined fee that goes up each year per gun. It will be illegal not to register them (violating federal law that says a gun registry cannot be maintained). Guns not registered must be forfeited for disposal or you get an infraction. (This is called extortion under the current CA Penal Code unless signed off by a judge.) This proposed law would take affect June 2025. So they let the criminals run loose, fire and demean the cops, import criminals from other countries' jails, and disarm the citizens so they can't defend themselves. Mark my words, there isn't an idiot alive that can get elected and screw this country up this much by accident.
