Are you ready for the rain?
The rain is coming and its coming soon. Its coming in the way no one ever suspected. And its not coming from a bunch of reds. Not like they thought. And its not coming from a bunch crazies. Not like we think. No, its coming, but its coming in a way we'd never suspected.
A simple balance sheet. A simple balance of credits and debts. The cornerstone of the system. A measure of those little pieces of paper that make the world go round.
A piece of paper with a ponzi scam behind it. Backed by nothing. Held with nothing but faith. This new, unshakeable faith that it will all just work out. Like the future cares where its going.
But everything needs equilibrium. Everything. You just can't stray too far. It'll come back. It'll bounce back like a clap of thunder. You stray too far, and the storm will brew.
Its brewing. We keep running, but its there on the horizon. And all we can do is run. Because its there now, its right there on the horizon, we conured it up and its not going away.
See, you just can't keep on spending. You just can't keep on printing the notes. And they just can't keep on shovelling it back. It'll all fall apart. And when it does only the joker will be left to stand.
The hard rain is coming.
