I wish the newspaper would stop featuring photographs from the Great Depression
It's all pictures of soup kitchens and shit. Jeez! It's as if they're saying, are you fearful yet? We don't think you are afraid enough!

I don't know what's going to happen. Maybe it's going to be that bad, or worse. Maybe it isn't. But I do object to the media deliberately trying to stir me up.

1. Gotta sell newspapers. If the stories read "Donate and volunteer time to soup kitchens"
they'd go out of business. The poor would be fed, and the sense-ationalist newspapers would go out of business. We just can't have that, can we?
