I realize it wears thin to warn about approaching tribulation if all we have is our analytical abilities. For those of you led by the Spirit, I'm pretty sure you know things are just getting started. It will all be vindicated soon, when it's too late to do anything about it. I'm rejoicing, and as I write this, I'm preparing to take it out for the first long ride. I predict I'll be rejoicing more afterward. But most of all, I'll be rejoicing when things turn suddenly very bad, because I am still utterly certain this bike isn't just a new toy, but a critical asset in the Kingdom service during the tough times ahead.
I'd say you're right about the tough times ahead, it's becoming increasingly obvious. The government response guarantees it. It is as if they have learned nothing from the Great Depression through the great recession. When governments follow the Keynesian policy of trying to spend their way out of an economic downturn, it only takes longer to recover. It places artificial barriers to private investment and rewards bad money management. I'm gonna quit before I get bogged down in the details and become boring.
