My plans for an early retirement are evaporating. 35+ years of working my ass off at two and three jobs, doing everything I was told to do, saving, investing, staying out of debt ~ for nothing. I hate Republicans. Having lost thirty thousand since July, I can tell you it feels like hell.

I only mention Europe, not because I believe you are from there ( I don't know), but because we are the two who dominate world headlines in gross disproportion to the news that could be told about the effects we actually have on the balance of the world.

The third power, China is not in play because they cannot much whine or be selfish in China. They look at the lot of legitimate protesters, those whom I would truly call brave, e.g. Chinese Christians who dare to study the Bible openly, and they take note for their physical safety.

We whine about likeability and whatnot from a false sense of privilege in Europe and the US. We have absolute privilege compared to the entire rest of the world and should see that status as conferring absolute responsibility to do the right thing, but are fundamentally deluded in large part on the nature of that privilege, assuming it as a right. I hope the current crises in the US (financial) and Europe (workforce) are a wakeup to counter the severe sense of entitlement that plagues the two big “developed” entities.

I won't move anywhere else, despite the nonsense that accompanies being black here. It's the same worldwide. We just gotta keep hustling and do the right thing.

I have to believe many seniours of those close to retirement are looking at their money disappear too. How could they see that and think McCain/Republicans are the answer? Some have said they will choose the familiar person in this time of uncertainty..but I don't know if that's true. This is horrible.
