This explains his sudden turn to Christianity last year. He's going to try the "God forgave me" defense.

I'd imagine they had that planned out, but you never know I guess.

If it crashes badly enough their money will be worthless.

Primary them. That's it.

Notice I said worse than 1929. Regardless we are both just speculating at this point.

You seem to just want to win a non-existent argument, so you win.

My point was at least half or more of the US population has little-to-no-memory of what that was like.

My dad was drafted during the Vietnam era but I'm in my 50's and have no actual memory of that time.

I know it happened but I was really young when they stopped the draft and we've had several generations born since then who also have no memory of it.

It would be politically dangerous for a government to restart a draft absent an actual world war-type situation or a dictatorship.

Not since the 70's

It's 5 years and statutory evidently. This isn't as bad as you're making it out to be.

They don't understand just how bad it's going to get. It's going to make 1929 look like playtime.
