By the blindness and greed of ruling classes the people have been plunged into infinite misery ; but that misery has its purpose in the scheme of nature.

"They have ignored the
the injuries to my people.
'Peace, peace!' they say,
though there is no peace.
They have acted shamefully, committing abominations,

U.S. District Judge Bill Young, AAUP v. Rubio, Noem, et al., September 30, 2025

Mohandas K. Ghandi

What is unsustainable will not be sustained. And the current course of the US financial system is unsustainable.
Fraud and the abuse of power can continue on for a long time, often longer than we would imagine.
But do not be deceived, for God is not mocked. What a man sows, so shall he reap.
And sooner or later there will be consequences and judgement.

Have a pleasant evening.
