End of Empire
Slowly, Slowly, Then All at Once

Open Thread Image.jpg

The decay of US empire is all around us...crumbling infrastructure, increasing poverty and homelessness, and an economic system in decline. We used the power of the dollar to sanction and bully other countries to the point they united and developed a new means of exchange (BRICS pay) bypassing the USD and SWIFT system. The FED has for decades cranked up the presses to over produce dollars, increasing the debt to the point the interest on the debt is about equal to our GDP. Much of the currency creation has been to finance the endless war - profiting the MIC, the bankers, the oil industry, and the elite. In fact, over spending on the Vietnam war caused Nixon to take the USD off a gold standard because we didn't have the gold to back all the dollars created. Since then it has gotten worse, and the wars more numerous in an effort to prop up the failing system.

Album of the Week 10-11-25

Afternoon folks!

We've got some cool blues this week. Starting out, there's an album from Chicago blues harmonica player Billy Branch and guitarist Lurrie Bell. Following that is an album from Big Jack Johnson and one from Lonnie Brooks. After that we move on to some blues-rock from Little Feat recorded live in Holland back in 1976. Finishing up in the diversity department is an album from Muscle Shoals songwriter Donnie Fritts and there are a bunch of good songs on the album.

Enjoy the music and have a great weekend!

Saturday OT - 10/11/25: Odds and Ends

Good morning, good people! And "good people" lends itself to interpretation...

Several years ago, I represented a wife in a divorce. It took 2 years to finalize it.

During their separation, H hooked up with a young woman, likely an illegal from Mexico. The gf had a baby.

Then, the H did something, was sent to prison for a 5 yr sentence. His son from a prior marriage hooked up with the gf, and now they are planning a marriage to secure her immigration status, and she is pregnant with his child.

Like father, like son.

This year, it is a mom with 2 kids from a bf she never married. Bf left to live with another gf, and since they lived with his father, my client and father are now a couple, intend to marry, and she is pregnant.

You got your g/pa dad, dad half bro, and on and on.

Is the new family tradition?
