Jobs and Healthcare

If there's a nuclear explosion in the United States you can say goodbye to your jobs and healthcare. How many people lost jobs after 911? What happened to the stock market? How long did the recovery take? How much is the price of gas now? That wasn't caused directly by 911 but as a result of our actions afterward. What do you think our reaction will be after a nuclear attack? The same as Spain's reaction? I don't think so. That would be like jumping in the Amazon River after a gunshot. The piranhas would be all over us. Islamic countries will not be selling us oil.

And like on the African plain, the weak or injured are attacked and killed off by animals that wouldn't have bothered them otherwise. We have no friends in this jungle, our alliances and treaties will count for nothing. Bet on it. Better yet, don't let it get to that point. Our friends will be there only as long as we have the power and the money. The stronger they get (or weaker we get) the less need or use they have for us. That's the world we live in, no matter what your hallucinations lead you to believe.

That's what I think. I also think we will, unfortunately, go through the experience of just such an attack.
