    Being a avid coin collector I can relate by looking at my Nero aureus.....

    During Nero's reign, things went bad for Rome, plebs were going hungry. while the upper echelon lived in splendour. The Emperor wanted to blame the "Christians" for all the problems he had created. Thus, he had thousands arrested, tortured and cast into the coliseum as snacks for bears, wolves, lions, tigers, even baboons. This offered amusement for the populace, and took their minds off the real problems in Rome. Nero also debased the silver denarii and gold aureii. You see back in 69 AD their were no printing presses to print worthless paper currency, no BITCOIN, no plastic, just real money= precious metal type:)
    Today in 2026, we have a situation were the top 1% make more $$$$ then the bottom 99%. Greedy CEOs earn more in 1 hr then their staff in a year.:eek:
    Compare that too Germany.....

    Germany has free healthcare, dental, drugs, no wait times.
    Germany has much higher standard of living.
    German wehrmacht would have defeated Iran in 3 weeks.
    German CEOs make much less $$$$, while emplyees are well paid.
    Germany probably has worlds largest gold reserves, US reserves are questionable to put it mildly.
    Germany has no debt, USA + 40 TRILLION.
    Germany has low crime rate compared with USA, hardly any gun crime. Most crime is caused by immigrants from Merkels time in office, 100K Syrians......
    Germany is building her armed forces to be best in Europe vs Russian imperialism, Trump invited a wanted war criminal and his thugs to Anchorage.
    While US economy is in big trouble, Trump picks a fight with his closest ally (Canada) even renames Lake Ontario, Lake America a name that is not recognized by 50 Governors! and rest of world.

    Now, if I quit lawn care and took up the job, Trump has......

    I would fire everyone and hire "smart advisors" Ben Hodges as Sec. of War for example, General Kellogg would take over from Rubio to deal with crap like Putin and his wacko tin pot dictators, that means you Kim, Lukashenko, Xi:D Maybe give Mark Carney job as Head of Fed!
    How is that for a good rant. d8692a6159420f0611c8afe12971643c.jpg d8692a6159420f0611c8afe12971643c.jpg
