It with the rest of the world will collapse in a fireball of runaway inflation towards the end of the year.
Sadly, inflation is our only saviour now. It's either that or a currency collapse/sovereign crisis.

I don't get it:

[Image: Mar-2.jpg]
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Well...I mean, give it four or five hundred years..how can we say it hasn't collapsed into a fireball of runaway socialism?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Corporate America and the GOP stupidly think that compitition is a race to the bottom as far as wages. If we just let the rich do everything they want prosperity will "trickle down".

Australia and New Zealand's travel bubble officially opens April 18

Quote:New Zealand will allow Australians to travel to the country quarantine-free, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said in a press conference Tuesday, April 6.
The travel bubble is set to begin on Sunday, April 18 at 11:59 pm, Ardern added. Australia has allowed New Zealand travelers to enter without quarantine, and New Zealand is now following suit.

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/austr...index.html

Let the commingling commence.

This is one of the adverts the NZ tourism commission is running in Australia to promote the re-opening:

NZ is fine, but it's more than a bus ride away... bring it closer!
