Rejuvenation Pills

No one likes getting old. Everyone would like to be immorbid. Let's be careful here. Immortal doesnt include youth or return to youth. Immorbid means you stay hale and hearty.

I've convinced that we humans have pupal, larval, and adult insect stages, seeing as we are ape-shaped bugs, really. Funny little bugs, floating on a ball of lava, at the bottom of a razor thin ocean of air. There's no molting or cocoons, no overt dramatic stages,  but there are stages. Puberty obviously, but research have shown body changes at age 40 and 60. One more late stage adult change, I suspect, happens around 80, where you turn into a tough old bird, or a fragile and more gracile one (both are useful adaptations).

I'm laying the ground work for the rejuvenation pulls discussion. Recognizing biology, we eliminate pills that can turn you into babies, or with lack of access, turn you into a corpse in front of our eyes. Much as I like that stuff, it's unrealistic bullshit.

So, rejuvenation pills might take you back to a prior stage. If you are 60+, you go back to 40. If in you're in your 40s, welcome to 25. Anyone taking the pill before age 25 has no known effects. Let's not rule out compounding, so that someone aged 80+ could over time go back to 25. 

If you hated Boomers, just wait.

Rich people want this kind of immortality, and given the statistics on generational wealth being solid, it's a good bet. You risk the occasional chaos, but you assume if things take a shit you can't get the pills anyway. In which case you age normally, or if things have really taken a shit, die.

But let's say things take a minor shit, a bottleneck, and the rejuvenation pills either have a lasting effect, or are available, many of these bunker billionaires find themselves slaves to the Furious Host. The Great Unwashed Undead Survivors. Immortal Barbarism? Nah. Like it or not we are a superorganism. But the irony of Elon Mush or Donnie some war lord's butt, is funny

All Is Lost

I broke up a fight in my class. Well, not a fight but a pushing and shouting match. I did the drill instructor number on the two of these voting age adults. One of them actually said "He started it!"

And you wonder why Trump won. 

In the age of bullshit, improvise.

The world of 500 years ago, even 100 years ago would to our eyes be an ostentatious abundance, a startling abundance of life. 

We live in a poverty world, caused by our own selfish tastes, not learning; therefore doomed. No amount of prepper prepping or billionaire bunkering is going to help out. The bottleneck is coming, but it can be postponed. Is it worth it? 

It's not too late. All we have to do is stop killing everything. Nature knows how to bounce back after four billion years of knockdowns. Take the sharks as an example, once as numerous as passenger pigeons or buffalo, many are now classified Critically Endangered. Their populations have been decimated by 95% since the 1980s. Pelagic sharks, ocean going sharks have suffered the worst due to industrial fishing.

We are closer than we think to fisheries collapse. The industry response is to fish down the food chain, and currently krill is now on the menu. If we aint heading towards Soylent Green, I don't know what.

Zooming in to the USA, does the choice of a Trump or Harris, Republican or Democratic regime make any difference? The answer is mostly no, but ah there's that mostly.

Biden's Big Fucking Deal that is building 5 trillion in infrastructure is what Trump should have done in 2017. Period. Hard to cancel since it beneifts so many red districts. Biden was old, not stupid.

But the Trump regime had blow jobs and hand jobs to get out of the way, to satisfy the donor class or else. And Putin*

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, with mediocre GDP growth but boy did the rich get richer? And Infrastructure Week was a tired joke. So, this is a problem again. It's amazing how all these consumers just throw their money at these frauds. I mean, when I hear the word entrepreneur, I reach for my revolver. And check for my wallet. 

The biggest worry is that our economy shows no sign of slowing, and after we get over the AI bubble, there is every indication of another roaring twenties. That would accelerate the killing, putting collapse as early as 2032. Biology and medicine are making stunning progress and I wouldn't be surprised if things along the lines of rejuvenation pills or something within the decade.

If you hate Boomers now, just wait. 

All Is Not Lost

Welp, get ready for four years with the Blowjob Queen of Mar-a-lago*. Besides the fat old slut of an orange bedbug, we have his veep, the Bearded Lady, the spastic ketamine fueled prancer Elon Musk to take tongs and sledgehammer to the executive branch, and a shaky fart voiced RFKjr, who is determined to give us all smallpox.

The plan is to deport everyone, shut down immigration, throw up tariffs, make the Justice Department an American Gestapo, and hold military tribunals against perceived enemies. What fun!

The first administration back in 2017 was an inept, incompetent, do-nothing farrago. The only notable accomplsihment was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which helped add 8 trillion dollars to the debt, and the permanent disappearance of trillions into the pockets of the donor class. Oh, right, and one million dead Americans from mishandling a plague.

Unfortunately, Trump stooges now know where all the levers and switches of power are located, so we can expect a slightly more competent handling of our beast of a government. 

The good news is our ship of state cannot turn on a dime. Our government, a globe-spanning kaiju - no strike that, a Lovecraftian horror, is as unwieldy as it is big. Policies put in place years or decades ago are not only still in place, but often, only now being implemented. So, any action from the Trump regime, damaging as it may be to citizens, will take some time. Inertia, and all that. Not to mention the policy of "comply but do not obey" the deep state often uses irregardless of transient personalities.

So the juggernaut of state may not completely or immediately roll over It's citizenry.

There are also policies in place that were Trump-proofed during legislation. The biggest suite of policies are those put in place by Biden which I call The Big Fucking Deal.

Biden managed to get through a massive amount of domestic programs that rival the scope of Roosevelt's New Deal, or Johnson's Great Society. Five trillion dollars of spending for a wide variety of purposes, spread out over every corner of the country, red or blue, but mainly red. Biden has launched large programs to:

"move the country to clean energy sources, to create from scratch or bring back onshore a number of industries, to strengthen organized labor, to build thousands of infrastructure projects, embed racial-equity goals in government programs, and break up concentrations of economic power."

Biden and his advisors did their level best to end the neoiliberal curse that has inflicted this nation since Reagan. (Clinton sure didn't help either).

This isn't just a series of accomplishments, this is a system of the world type of reforms that cannot be quelled for at least a decade - much longer than a tyrant's infantile reign of pouty poopiness.

Trump can try his best to short dick American reality, but the massive Biden wang just  cock blocks his small soft penis. (Sorry for the weird dick metaphor).

So buck up. Things will suck badly for awhile, and the stupidity and short-sightedness of the American people will continue to prevail, but there is hope.
