Because 2023 is going to be FUCKING terrible.

I mean sure the famine, plague and war is bad enough, but my favorite chocolate bar have almost doubled in price since Trump left office.

Was reading the usual Doom and Gloom stories...Gas, food costs, rent, fuel, energy, but what kind of surprised me was the percentage of Americans BARELY above water.

43% at this moment are doing okay finacially...Obviously including the very rich and upper class in that percentage.

HOWEVER, that means 57% are swimming hard, but going under...That's going to be the issue for us Americans.

WE'RE NOT USED TO GOING WITHOUT.

Most poor countries you get by on what you can, when they have it and how they have it.

You make due...But in the US even the poor have Big Screen TVs, Play Stations, Cars, stacks of clothes, toys, and stacks and stacks of stuff that we neither need, really want or even use.

We're not used to no gas, no car, no internet, no streaming services, no rolling black outs or sudden loss of water etc.

So although 2023 will suck, IT SHOULD MAKE YOU STRONGER.

(Well not counting all the people that MIGHT get really sick from the very SAFE AND EFFECTIVE COVID MIRACLE VACCINE)

Leaner, smarter, healthier and wiser.

Hard times make hard men.

Every now and then we need a kick in the ass to wake up and change how we're just living in a haze.

By the way...My favorite chocolate bar?  Well I like it, like I like my women.
