Our economy is collapsing, but since the evidence of that collapse, bank-failures, manifests itself while we’re all distracted, by our weekends, we don’t even notice what’s happening which means we’re not planning for when the other shoe drops. You can bet that rich people are paying attention to these bank-closures and their arses are going to be covered. It’s scary how easily we, the common people, the working-class people, can be controlled.
