3. What a read!!!

You are such a dear to do this one, because when I first saw it, I thought it might possibly be a reading that could put peoples' minds at ease. The threads here are just filled with anxiety over what might happen. It's so hard to see people go through this.

Something that occurred to me when I heard about the fourth turning (Libby refers to it, but it's also been discussed in other places, such as numerous youtube videos) was that the American government has to go through a restructuring. This has been noted in astrology for quite some time now--I think I first noted it in 2022 or '23, so I knew about it before all this started, but I can't say I fully understood it. I didn't spend that much time on it back then, and now I wish I had.

It has to be changed so everyone pays in a fair amount. Let's face it: none of us are happy with the middle class bearing the burden of the finances of this government while people like musk and trump get out of paying much of anything. This has gone on way, way too long. David Cay Johnston of the NY Times has been writing about this for decades and when I taught writing/research classes, I used him as a source for thesis statements quite frequently. I wanted to educate my students about what was likely to unfold in the economy. In fact, I even remember the first article I had my students read: it was "Report Says That the Rich Are Getting Richer Faster, Much Faster," which was published back in 2007!

My point is that when I figured out what was happening with trump and musk, I recognized that they were tearing it down but because they did so illegally, it will be up to us to put it back together--the way we want it! This was my favorite paragraph that pertains to that:

"I just got told that what's happening is that this current regieme is bringing everything to a head and it is collapsing and there's going to have to be a massive from the ground up rebuild as so many of our systems -- and I'm nt talking computerwise, I'm talking about how they operate. Including elections. Including Congress, the House and the Senate, and money. But what I just got told was that future governments will pay back the money that was removed. Now that it is in full public awareness, I'm getting that it will become part of the budget that this has to be paid back. I always get that the tax system will be sorted out as well. But I'm getting that they will have to pay back..."

I have so much more to say, but I have to get some things done before tomorrow--I have a tree company coming to remove a dead tree in front of my house. I will, however, have more to say tomorrow before my head hits the pillow.

Thanks again, SheltieLover. I know I will probably re-read this at least one more time tonight.
