Yeah, we may be seeing tough times ahead. The light at the end of the tunnel may be an onrushing express train, as [some] might think. Big fucking deal. We’ll take the crash, clear up the wreckage, and rebuild the stupid line and the tunnel—and someone is gonna make a huge profit from cleaning up the mess—because that’s what we do.
And then the trains will start running again, with their loads of passengers, merchandise, machinery and materials, as we move on to become more successful than we even were before. None of the other nations, not any three combined, can withstand a quarter of the kind of calamity that we can handle before breakfast.
Yeah, the financial markets are in trouble. Big deal. Let the moneylenders learn a little humility, for a change.
We will not go under.
Manifest Destiny, baby. You’d better believe it.
