Get Ready For Crazy
Submitted by Jeff Thomas via InternationalMan.com,
Recently, the Honduras homes and businesses of the family of Jaime Rosenthal were raided by the Honduran government. The properties themselves were seized and other assets taken. The family-owned bank was also seized and has been forced into liquidation, creating potential financial crisis for its 220,000 clients.
Throngs of angry clients, unable to go about their personal and professional business, have blocked surrounding streets, demanding the release of their savings.
In response, the government has promised that each depositor will have the opportunity to withdraw up to US$9,600 from other banks, beginning with the smallest depositors.
At first glance, those of us who live in the First World may regard this sort of crazy seizure as typical Third World governmental behaviour, but, in recent years, the First World has been changing. We’ve witnessed banks and governments confiscating depositors’ funds, increasing capital controls, and instituting asset forfeiture laws that have turned police departments into looters. They’ve created dramatically increased powers for all authorities, leading the populace to live in fear of detention or arrest for the smallest perceived infraction.
Some First World governments have taken a decidedly Third World turn.
And in this instance we see an ironic twist: The raids in Third World Honduras were a direct result of the legalised shakedowns that are occurring in the First World.
With the understanding that the U.S. government now seizes the assets of those they charge with a crime (and sometimes with no charge having been made), the government of Honduras undertook their seizure of the Rosenthals’ assets as a preemptive act, after one of the Rosenthals had been arrested in the U.S.
In essence, what we’re seeing is one government acting in a totalitarian manner to preempt another government acting in a totalitarian manner. Worse, the latter government is that of the U.S., once regarded as the leader of the Free World.
In discussing the event with a colleague in Honduras, I was advised that, as she is British, she has come to assume that the First World, into which she had been born, was more developed, more civilised than the Central American country in which she now resides. Although she was aware of the 2013 bank confiscation in Cyprus and has heard rumblings of new restrictive laws in the EU and U.S., she had not pieced together the fact that, whilst Third World countries continue to develop, the First World is going in the opposite direction and is beginning to pass the Third World level on their way down.
The First One to Make the Grab Gets the Spoils
The Honduran government said in a statement that it conducted the raids and closed the bank because it “wants to prevent the transfer of assets during the investigation.”
It would seem that they were content to leave the future of the Rosenthal businesses to the free market, but were not willing to allow the U.S. government to seize substantial assets that make up a part of the Honduras economy. The choice, then, was to either allow the U.S. plunderers to seize assets located in another country, or to become the plunderers themselves. In essence, “I don’t wish to see my neighbour robbed, but if I know someone’s coming to my neighbourhood to rob him, I’ll rob him myself first.”
If this were to be the only incident of its kind, it wouldn’t be worth the effort to provide comment. However, it may well be a bellwether of events to come. Certainly, those who seek public office (in all or at least most countries) are far more focused on their own benefit than the well-being of their constituents. As such, if they feel that the squeeze is on (be it a political, military or monetary squeeze), we can expect them to behave in a manner that’s intended to save their own skin, not that of their people.
Historically, such conditions begin with a few small warnings, such as the one in Honduras, then, at some point, bubble over quickly. The “crazy” period is usually brief, usually a few years at most, then it burns itself out after the wealth has disbursed.
If this premise is correct, we can predict a period of increased looting by governments in general. We already know that the leading jurisdictions of the First World are in serious economic trouble and are instituting draconian measures at home in order to grab what they can from their citizens on their way down. In addition, they’re spreading their reach throughout the world under the auspices of organisations like the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development to loot assets in other countries under the pretence that they constitute “the good guys,” whilst the rest of the world constitutes, “the bad guys.”
The real truth, of course, is that “the good guys” are in no way better than the rest of the world; they merely have more power and, at least for the present, have the ability to presume their good guy status through force.
By extension, we can anticipate that, as the Great Unravelling progresses, we shall see actions being taken by governments and financial institutions worldwide that we’ve never seen in our lifetimes. An aggressive action taken by one entity will cause a knee-jerk reaction by the target entity and, in some cases, chain reactions will occur. In addition, as in Honduras, we shall see preemptive aggressive actions taken in the belief that another entity may move first. Along the way, a sense of what is morally right will lose its importance. In its place, we shall see a “Nice guys finish last,” ethic come to the fore. Those who behave the most honourably in this period will become the foremost victims of those whose ethics have, until the present, been more the product of convention than conviction.
The looting of the tribes is nothing new. It goes back throughout history. It flourishes during crisis times, then subsides, as productivity reasserts itself.
The question that remains is what to do during the crisis period, when, it seems, everyone is going after each other’s possessions.
History tells us that the vast majority of people hunker down and hope that they’re not victimised too badly. In the end, they generally end up as casualties to a greater or lesser degree.
Others vote with their feet. Throughout history, whenever there’s been turmoil in some countries, there have been other countries where the government and/or society is less aggressive and less rapacious. The same is true today. There are many jurisdictions where those who plan ahead can either move permanently, or merely plan to wait out the storm.

Coming to a Bank of America, or a JP Morgan Chase bank near you soonest.
Goldman will have us all licking their Sachs for extra calories any minute now.......
But don't worry, Bankster bonuses will continue as before.
Rosenthal?
Let me make a wild guess. He's Mormon.
No... That's a traditional Amish name.
For a moment, I thought that was an image of a "Black Friday" Wal-Mart crowd.
"Some First World governments have taken a decidedly Third World turn."
WELCOME... To Obamaville.
More accurately called FED-ville
Rosenthal? Hmm, makes one wonder if it's the same tribe that is linked to the Clinton Foundation and their absconding with donations meant for Haitian disaster relief...
I thought Simon Black said it was a good idea to keep some of your assets overseas. Maybe not. I think the bottom of the lake is the best place.
RRRRRRRRRR
It be The Bank of Roatan

"Legends continue of ghosts of the past. Ghosts, or "duppees", reportedly have been sighted by various locals. They tell that men burying gold would kill a man, leaving his body with the gold to "watch" the gold. After centuries, the ghost is reportedly tired of watching, and will give someone specific directions on how to find the gold. If those instructions are followed exactly, the seeker reportedly can find the gold. One local tells of a ghost blowing in his ear when he was in a remote area of the wilderness hunting crabs late at night."
re: Government looting:
MOLON LABE motherfuckers. It ain't in the bank, com'n get it if you think you can.
They can.
define can
Well...Ruby Ridge, Whiskey Rebellion, War to Prevent Southern Independence, Executive Order 6102, World Trade Center, Waco, Obamacare, Sacco and Vanzetti, Wounded Knee, Alien and Sedition Act, FRN... What more do you need?
Bundy Ranch.
They stood down.
There's just no way the FED can raise interest rates. I don't care what they say. It'll completely drown the global economy. It'll be interesting to watch Janet back down.
Get off your knees boot licker.
Good luck, asswipe.

Just another Fairy tale
Fuck no
Honduras is a 1st world country? lol
The difference between a 1st world country and a 3rd world country is ethics. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Then we are a third world country FOR SURE
"The difference between a 1st world country and a 3rd world country is ethics. Nothing more. Nothing less."
Short, concise and hits the point well. Excellent.
What is a Second World country??
Someone transitioning between "first" and "third." On the way up it means that the ethics are there but the wealth is still being created. On the way down, it means not all of the wealth has been blown yet.
It's a historical reference.
Old World = Europe.
New World = The Americas.
Third World = Everywhere else.
Gradually, that last term came to mean shithole, and then elitist wankers with economics degrees (but poor history grades) started assuming that in turn meant there was a 'first world', and they were in it. They were safe to assume that and pass it on, because elitist wankers like that tend to get stabbed early on in the 'Third World'.
first(way it was) plus third(imigrants)=todays fucking mess of cross culture, truely a caldron ready to boil over. i'm out of tolerance, itchy trigger finger, deer hunting and all...
bruce jenner for prez, captures what WRONG in merica go round..
no ha today...
Sweden, although just passing through on the way to third world status.
Rubbish.
Oops!

More like the (semi) rule of law. Fixed it.
Me see few ethics in the USSA.
no - the difference is the number of min wage young bucks with M16s loitering around the ATMs

I've heard some people, including those with a decidedly socialist lean who have made a lot of money capitalising (notice the lowercase c) on the fiat system say that, if the economy collapses, they'll simply take their money and move to Costa Rica.
Really?
Look at a map.
Even if Costa Rica is friendly and a decent country, it is surrounded by countries whose citizens would make a sport of robbing and killing the stupid rich Americans who thought they could flee to safety and life-in-paradise by simply escaping to Latin America. No amount of USD would be able to buy protection.
Unfortunately you don't seem to know what you're talking about. Obviously you have never spent a few month in Costa Rica and the surrounding countries, otherwise you would have noticed that Panama is actually a more advanced and safer country.
The part where you write: "robbing and killing the stupid rich Americans" can happen anywhere in the world, not the least in the US itself.
seems as though those dirty white europeans float to the top, ha
all things considered
could always move to rowanda, wanda? ha again
how about nigeria, anywhere in frica? ha for the third tyme...
geez, what colorfull conversation....
That may be the case...TODAY. But rest assured, when TSHTF in one of those caribbean or central american paradises....the first conveniently-available patsies the current government will point the finger to....are those dastardly gringos. Look at them...they come here with all their riches and live like kings.....in YOUR country, amigos! Off with their heads!
"For a moment, I thought that was an image of a "Black Friday" Wal-Mart crowd."

Nonsense. The name is authentically Irish......
It translates as Rose Valley. May mean what you think, but not always. The old Frau Rosenthal who lived underneath us in Berlin would not have been there had she not been German.
If this is the new world order I want the Cold War back.

Theres no chance of global coordination amongst a highly ethnocentric minority, Citizen. Cease your microaggressions, and look no further into this matter.
We are not supposed to talk about that. A tiny minority must be allowed to have more and more and more financial, political, and media power in dozens of countries without complaint.
Now - you might be called a name.
Soon you may be sent to a camp.
The Bolsheviks loved killing people in camps.
We ate t supposed to discuss the facts if thatt matter either.
Although - you may happily debate the number of wthnic Russians killed.
But there is one number you must never debate and if you do, you WILL GO TO JAIL.
Even *doubt* is a crime in the Empire
They just threw an 87 year old woman in jail

This step taken by the government of Honduras seems to be aimed specifically against vulture funds.

Note to self: Use Honduras as the 100th example, and painful reminder, over the last ten years that storing your life savings in electronic fiat is dangerous for your financial health.
He who seizes first seizes best.
Just more proof that one should remove their assets from the reach of the banking cabals and to invest it in something tangible... Ancient relics seem to be in vogue these days, even if the paper price is going down... With the Comex levered to 293-to-1, it won't be long until the great unraveling commences...
Yes, and possession is 90% of the law.

According to the nyt, those missiles are designed to hit hospitals and orphans holding kittens.
Blockchain would solve this problem.
Metal bugs can go to hell on this......
Blockchain could hold an immutable record of who owns exactly what piece of land title in global registry.
You Preppers out there should take tis as a wake up call. You hate blockchain , and fuck bitcoin as well haters , but this could be solved once and for all with blockchain ,,,,,,,,,,
Blockchain technology is vigorously championed by the big banks, and it is being developed by Blythe Masters; who is infamous for having been the architect of disastrous financial products in the not-too-distant past.
Blockchain additionally raises a great deal of concern regarding privacy & other basic civil rights.
I was in Honduras in the mid-90s.... we were traveling on some back roads and tried to buy locally made cigars (they were rolling them with their feet on the front porch) I tried to pay with dollars, they didn't even know what they were, had to use the local currency, the Limpira....I'm sure they're just waiting for blockchain technology to reach them now /s.
Definitely. People should be sure to keep using US dollars, Wall Street banks, and SWIFT for all their electronic money transfer needs. Bitcoin is icky. It has cooties.
And you're right, that bitcoin stuff is obviously bogus anyway since back roads countryside farmers in Honduras rolling cigars with their feet don't use it. I always require those guys to first give their thumbs-up to any technology I adopt.
Bitcoin is icky. It has cooties.
It has the same problem as the Fiat money, Just an electronic entry on a computer that can go poof.
To say nothing of how icky a foot rolled cigar must taste:-0
Yep. It's easy. Just reverse the SHA-256 hash and change the electronic entry on the blockchain. Poof.
Imagine if they awarded a Nobel prize and the recipient didn't show?
https://www.rt.com/business/321274-nobel-prize-economics-bitcoin/
"The Nobel Prize in Economics for 2016 could quite possibly be awarded to the enigmatic founder of the digital currency bitcoin.
Bitcoin's reclusive inventor Satoshi Nakamoto was chosen by finance professor from UCLA and University of Chicago Professor Bhagwan Chowdhry."
"Chowdhry noted that bitcoin’s inventor has never published in any of the scholarly economics or finance journals, except for a 9-page white paper “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” which was posted by Satoshi Nakamoto on the web in 2009...
No one really knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is, where he lives or what his phone number is, he claimed. The professor suggested that Nakamoto could be informed online, and even proposed to accept the award on Nakamoto's behalf during the ceremony in Stockholm in December."
I understand the currency is synthetic but he exists? Right?
Some will say that he was synthesized by the NSA who deveoped the software.
He is a virtual individual.
BitCON is a scam to digitize all transactions for ease of tracking and the NSA holds the decipher key.
If the Nobel people are involved, then something smells fishy.
i'm quite sure nsa would be perplexed.
Lol.
Yes. If not implemented correctly, one unintentional consequence of blockchain could be the rise of a large-scale black market, especially for services.
Blockchain, baloney... And I'm a tech guy that spent a career in IT security, so don't blow smoke up my arse... There hasn't been a crypto invented that cannot be broken...
Tell me something smart guy... Besides the obvious flaws with bitcoin, what happens when the internet goes down or someone takes out the power grid in a region of the world... You know these will be the first things to go in a global conflict, right? How are you going to retrieve your precious bitcoins then? Go ahead, put all your assets into something intangible in real-word terms, I'll stick with what has been known as "money" throughout the rise and fall of dozens of empires, gold...
Why do you think people find caches of gold coins all over England? Because there is nothing new under the sun and 500 years ago people were trying to preserve their wealth just as we are today.
Yet the original owners are all dead and the money unspent, like dumb squirrels that forget where they bury their cache of nuts. I wonder if in 500 years in the future treasure hunters find all those boating accidents with the same amount of surprise as the treasure hunters of today finding all those caches of coin from centuries past.
I agree, squirrels make poor estate planners.
At least the guy who killed the original owner did not get the loot.
Except for those last damnable 97 letters on the Kryptos sculpture.
Standard Disclaimer: If they offered a cash prize, I'd spend more time on it. I remember when RSA offered money for factoring the product of two large primes.
I had the 2000x2000 decimal multiplier all coded out (and checked out against all previous RSA solutions) and was going to brute force with a bank of Sun Microsystems servers when the cash prize up and vanished. Never did find out why, other than I figured the NSA beat me to it.
There hasn't been a crypto invented that cannot be broken...
Brilliant. Since you are knowledgable and confident bitcoin's crypto can be broken using today's technology, I'd like to partner with you. Bitcoin's market cap is $5B, so as soon as you break its encryption, you and I can start divvying up the bitcoins between each other and go on shopping sprees. I can't wait. So when are you quitting your job and starting work on picking up that $5B that's just sitting there on the table?
Great idea. I do all of the work, and you get half.
My better idea. You do the work and I'll take 90%.
So you are also a THIEF?
You want the proceeds of ill gotten gains.
Go and FUCK YOURSELF, THIEF.
His post exposed him as a THIEF and YOU AS WELL.
(The bright side to this...Sometimes you do get a two fer.)
Just emp the grid. Poof! ......and, it's gone. I understand, it exists somewhere, magnetically, but you ain't gettin it. And you you damn sure ain't spending it, or filling your tank or belly.
The government and big banks want us to go all electronic and cashless. Enough for me, right there, to conclude hell no.
But,.... I could be wrong. You like Bitcoin, put all you wealth there. I could give a rat's ass. Just don't try to take me along with you.
Goes for Amway and bible thumpers as well. Thanks, but no thanks.
These guys MUST convince us they are right, or they can't believe in it themselves.
Okay, us metal heads are stupid. We will get ours, and you can gloat. Just stifle with all the block chain Bitcoin crap. IT NEEDS POWER to work. That, is the problem.
If you don't think that it has already been hacked by the NSA etc...?
Bullshit strawman aside, If you can't get to the internet or it's down....
Then what.
(being in IT for 40 years I agree with him, if you believe in virtual electronic representations of wealth.... Well, good luck with that. )
you and I can start divvying up the bitcoins between each other and go on shopping sprees.
So you are into STEALING?
What a DISHONEST FUCK.
Go and FUCK YOURSELF, THIEF.
Are you typical of those who promote Bitcoin?
It seems that way.
Your sacrasm detector seems to be not working. :)
Don't forget a great PR machine. Couldn't do it so easily without control of the establishment media.

Speaking of allegations of crazy, are you non-noobs aware of a top search result for ZH that describes it as batshit insane?
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge
Not a bad site if in places pedantic and distinctly non-rational but it reminded me for some reason of a quote by Schoepenhauer:
'Talent hits a target no one else can hit, genius hits a target no one else can see'
And forget who said, it but 'there is a fine line between genius and madness - I have erased that line.'
Their take on 'truthers' is as a priori dismissive as that pejorative normally portends, less an argument than filling in around a conclusion which isnt to say they are all wrong. I think cutting fire suppression and maybe simply doing some selective weakening or use of accelerants in a superscraper with 30% load carried externally and hitting it with planes full of jet fuel resulting in thermal expansion of supports can explain a collapse just fine, and Im not wading into that pool here unless someone wants to use show their work structural engineering and/or physics arguments (with or without occams razor)

Good to hear joe rogan and eddie bravo talk about his new movie on yesterdays show. Btw if I ever meet rogan Ill challenge him to a friendly spar, his bjj and kickboxing against my combat aikido (well shodokan plus elements of wing chun - I also no longer defend aikido in mma forums because the bjj cult thinks mma is end all be all and know little of anything but bjj wrestling boxing )
But i digress... Had a few tonight, ladies.
<<>>
separately, stumbled across an article from a few years back some of youse might find as interrsting as I do re value of pms during a deflationary crisis. Maybe not as interesting to some with an actual econ background beyond a basic course or two but Id always conceived of the pm hedge as for (hyper)inflation, or actually, in my own way of thinking about it the inevitable decline in unit value of any multiplying token of exchange without a referent ( not backed )
But in the case of a deflationary scenario? This i guess or simply is using the austraian def of #frns and all to be clear - bank run - wasnt that (??) 1907? Somehow I just hadnt been thinking of anything but the hyperprinting, hadnt really thought about bank runs in terms of gold which I admit is dumb as bank runs are very likely.
But in dealing with 1sand0s - 'what if' the fed 'forgave' the money owed to it that never existed before the loan anyway? Wont happen - but seriously - wouldnt that be 'deflation' (aust.) leading to disinflation, i.e. Increase in purchasing power of the FRN and ---------- wouldnt *that* actually boost the dollar and what econimists call, apparently seriously, 'the economy?'

Well played! We haven't changed our strategy, still all in with Kimberly-Clark. They make Depends and toilet paper. Got asswipe? It's like money in the bank!
You can use fiat for that. Unless of course you are in oz where the "money" is plastic...
Actualy, given that digital dollars outnumber physical ones by at least an order of magnitude, yet every digital dollar is a claim in on a physical one, best to get out of the former and stock up on the latter.
With all the constant "war games" on both coasts, and a kazillion dollar Trident shot off, I get the sinking feeling that one morning everyone might wake up really scared, and broke.
Or maybe just not wake up at all.
Another reason for peeps to switch to cash in hand , Bitcoin and sunken boat treasure.
Maybe you can spare a roll, I've got some 'banking' to do.
If you can, suggest they get into the Bank Note business.
More magical "safe haven" talk ... great.
All "governments" are totalitarian by nature. It is a delusion to think otherwise.

Honduras, wasn't it the country that had a coup backed by USA in 2009 ?
An insignificant detail, surely. ;-)
Let's not forget US troops sent to Honduras in 1903, 1907, 1911, 1912, 1919, 1924, and 1925.
We also used the place as a base for the Contras back in the Reagan years, when the US was trying to overthrow the elected government in Nicaragua.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honduras#20th_century
Honduras was the original "banana republic," a term coined by O. Henry in 1904.
Cabbages and Kings by O. Henry. Great short story.
O.Henry first visited Honduras while on the run
from the law in the states
Honduras has one of the world's highest murder rates,
the government actually pays for funerals
edit: Honduras has the world's highest murder rate,
the murder capital of the world is San Pedro Sula,Honduras
It will be a lot safer there soon; most of the murderers are coming to the USA!
So vibrant!
Photo looks like a normal Latino neighborhood brawl; theatrical gestures & all.
This guy is part of the nationalist crew, one of Clinton-ousted Zelaya's colleagues. He broke w his own party, in shame, after Iran Contra.
The current Honduran government was cobbled together by various operatives after a Clinton-coup. Do we really even need any more detail? This is the settling of an old score by history's "winners". The old boot-stamping-on-a-human-face routine.
Yeah he's a banker, yeah he's a Rosenthal, but there is more to the story. The Honduran gov isn't just getting their licks in for fun, they're working for the US.
oh man, fear is so cool.

Hey! By the way, Obama did such a stellar job with saving health insurance, lets put him in charge of saving the fucking planet!!!
The US Navy trusts him completely, that's why he's sacked/demoted so many of them.

Pretty thin fella; on a scale of 1-10 around -4 i'd expect.

we're about to find out exactly how thin the veneer of civilization really is.
Well said.
And many here still wondering about charts and where the next fortune will be made.
A perfect case of self-delusion/disconnectedness more bizarre that could possibly have be imagined by now.
Pay close attention to Europe for lessons to be learned. Lessons in survival, and desperation in the face of futility, as these human hoards march from one disaster to another. Lessons in how quickly that veneer can melt when the apex warrior, the white Anglo-Saxon, awakens from a long slumber once a critical mass realizes their very existence is threatened. It will ugly. You will want to turn away. It can happen to you, someday.
I would be long RGR if it was not overpriced.

Anyone with a spreadsheet can see the US government will not be able to meet obligations without printing $Ts in the near future, A few years, max. Fed bought 70% of treasuries I read somewhere.
The intent of capital controls is to keep money inside a moribund kleptocracy, available for theft.
good blog
Loks like Liftoff in that country.
Listen Up! Remember Bangalore? ( not the divvy using the same nom de plume who came after ) Whatever happened to him, he did a Lord Lucan after breezing in and out and was very funny,
Anyways Peeps what are the moody Ratings Agencies spoon feeding us as of today on USSofA Debt?
Is it AAA- or something close? Well we know it's Junk Status and therefore any Western Financial Statement is not worth the toilet paper it's not written on.
Where's that Terrwist who dared speaketh the truth ( Egan , i think ). So nout new here for Hedgers to see.
My only worry is that Ben Bernanke and Timmy Geithner collect on their treasonous actions before the End of Days. s/c
Funny the city of Huntington park CA notorious for seizures is filled with people from the 3rd world.
Used to be a nice place, when it was White.
Jaime really generous guy, billionaire paid his employees $340/ month/ $11 day.
He's a bolshevik or liberal or whatever you call it according to his Wikipedia entry. I thought they were supposed to be all up on living wages and all that like his fellow tribe member bolshevik Bernie Sanders.
So, because he is described as a member of the Liberal Party of Honduras, your uneducated guess is that he is a "bolshevik"? LMAO. You are an example of how people remain so ignorant in this country. They assume they understand everything based on a label that someone defined for them. The Liberal Party of Honduras is center right.
Latin American liberals generally emphasize free trade, private property and anti-clericalism. Its easy to see why drug traffickers like Rosenthal would be members of the Liberal Party since the globalist perspective makes money laundering much easier.
"Bolsheviks" is such an outdated term, right up there with "commie", "pinko" and "reds". There aren't a lot of places left where labor has much power these days, with the globalist oligarchs increasingly running things and preferring their labor units to be cheap and replaceable. You must be a Fox News watcher, soaking up elitist propaganda, and are probably 70 years old based on that demographic. I guess its true what they say about old dogs.
But if you were old enough to remember Eisenhower, or even Reagan, and you had any critical thinking skills left after soaking up years of right wing propaganda, you might realize that, as this columnist opines, "the new Republican Party has turned so far hard right, that Bernie Sanders may now be considered an Eisenhower Republican."

You know, in most of the Third World, government resources are limited, so they have to be selective with regard to whose business they interfere with. In practice that means that if you don't get involved in politics you can do what you please. The police will leave you alone, or can be easily bribed to look the other way.
On the whole Third World governance would be an improvement on what most people in "developed" countries have to put up with.
One of the better "Get Ready for Crazy" stories is what Nero did AFTER Rome burned...he ran up crazy debts to rebuild Rome and then went after the money to pay for it:
