Then you enjoy a sickness, #5. Too many people around you are in an economic agony, and either you ignore it or you lap it up like precum.
And, oppressed? How are you liking those property taxes? Property taxes have effectively converted ALL owners into renters, since you either rent from the state or you lose your home. But I'm sure that's part of the shit you enjoy, perversely.
I can only repeat: BUY GUNS AND AMMO. This shit will be a whole lot stinkier before it rots down to a better-smelling and more nourishing humus.
