Try Not to Cry

It could be hard, in the next few years.

Because I am not seeing any good news appear anywhere soon. The gap between the very rich and the very poor is widening every day, prices are sky rocketing, salaries aren't raising along, and the planet is about to blow the fuck up.



Gas is going up. It's about to run out. Metal prices are also rising, along with electricity and public transit. Food is turning more poisonous than ever. Housing prices are on the verge of becoming ridiculously impossible to afford, on top of tax hikes. Governement funding disappears, nobody can afford anything anymore. The "money-making" working fields are getting overcrowded and rare as pope shit.

On top of that, a war between the US and China is predicted, the one in Irak is far from over, Afghanistan is still a minefield, Darfur is as fucked up as it ever was, and trouble in Africa never seems over. It's not really recommended to set foot in Haiti either if you're white, because you might get kidnapped - and killed, since the ransoms asked for your worthless ass will most likely be unrealistic, and unpaid.



Global warming is a reality we have to live with. And the privatisation of the medical system is also coming along, folks - our system is no longer able to finance that either. So if you get sick, too bad for you : you probably will not be able to pay the astronomical hospital fees you will inevitably contract, and will either die alone in your corner, suffer in silence or be chased the rest of your life by lawyers because you'll owe big bucks.

I don't want to sound depressed, or make you - these are facts. Perhaps I'm seeing things at their worst, and I'll be quite happy to report I was wrong, in the next couple of years, if the globe doesn't explode from all this internal pressure. But for the moment, from my angle at least, things don't look good AT ALL.



I don't know ANYBODY who's financially healthy these days. My friends who used to do good are now starting to worry they might not make it at the end of the month. Our society is spending more than it earns. Which means the income is slowly diving into the negative part of the bill. Earned this year : minus 3000$. Next year, because the habits won't change, the prices will not go down and the salary will not go up : minus 7000$ (interests).

Move to Madagascar already. Wait for a train for days without worrying you'll be late for work. Be eaten by a lion in the middle of a vast plain while the sun makes your soul melt.

It's the best thing that could happen to you.
