Following in the Footsteps of the Doomstead Diner

The Diner moved from Global Collapse and can now be found here:

Well, here we are now in the Roaring 2020s with Global Collapse
in full swing and the old crowd of Doomers from the Diner mostly
dispersed and all aging up and inexorably heading to the Great
Beyond.
Since morphing into a nursing home gomer I have lost interest in
about everything, I don't even bother to check the headlines on
Google Newz anymore most of the time. I have also pretty much
run out of movies & TV series to watch on Amazon Prime. I sit
in a cripple person recliner all day with my eyes closed trying
to get myself disembodied so my mind can travel through time and
live other lives in other places. I run into all sorts of time
paradoxes though since I am still alive. I think this can only
work right if your body is completely dead, not just half dead
like mine.
I finally got my Medicaid assessment and should hopefully find
out what kind of assistance I can get and maybe get out of my
prison here in a month or two. Tons of logistical problems
though because I have no friends here to help me. Anybody wanna
visit Alaska for a week to help me get re-situated?
I do remain amazed at how long the fake economy keeps chugging
along. I don't think anyone who lives in my old apt complex
pays rent anymore. My old apt is still empty there and the
place is "owned" by some new management company.
Anyhow, join up here and drop a note here to tell us all how you
are doing.

Hi RE, nice to see you are doing some posting. It's hard to
think of doom these days for me. New house under construction,
new partner, girls doing at home schooling with our 3rd shutdown
now. Hope some of the posters migrate.
Cheers, NF

Hi RE, I'm saddened at your plight, I hope good things for you,
whatever you deem as good.
We're back in SW MO after a house flipping tour of the west
coast these last 6 years to raise a little cash. Huddled up in a
small town deep in red team territory now. We're on a 1/2ac town
lot, big garden, a few chicks, some trees and small fruit.
Missouri is about as far from built up as one can imagine in the
US, so on the theory that it's better to collapse from a small
height that a great one we're golden.
I've been reading some Turchin lately. Secular Cycles is along
the lines of Strauss–Howe generational theory, but incorporating
Malthus carrying capacity overshoot and maybe some closet
marxism to boot. His hobby horse is "elite overproduction" or,
to you and me, "not enough "rich" to go around" — even with
wealth inequality growing by the day.
Upshot is not the Illuminaughty and the Great Reset enslaving
the proles—they already did that — but the elites going toe to
toe with each other which will be the cause of the collapse.
Peace to you
.

I want to read that, as it's exactly my own suspicion. There is
no rebellion of the sheeple as long as they eat, however when we
are fully shaken down, they can't equitably settle for their
distribution of the spoils and must needs try get the jump on
each other

And without a rebellion this happens:

The number is 42. If America rhymes with Matthews Island. The
number of people making it through the bottleneck will be
comparable to the surviving population in the book:

Medicaid Approved
By: RE Date: April 24, 2021, 1:11 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I have now been approved by AK Medicaid for long term care and
so now should be able to get the prosthetic paid for, among
other things. Also on the agenda is to get into my own place
with my own home cripple helpers. Hopefully get my prostate
operation this month also and get rid of the catheter.

Great that AK Medicaid is finally giving you a leg up. And
about time. How many goats had to die for them to arrive at
this genius decision.

Hey RE
For the last year or so I've been checking in at the Diner
semi-regularly to see how you and the other folks were doing,
though I did not participate much. I was sorry to read that
your health suffered a downturn.
It seems now that things will improve a bit for you and that is
good. If I were anywhere within driving distance I'd take you
out for a ride in the country.
You need to stay with us for a while - your voice is needed.
