As far as I know though, most countries don’t pay for anything with taxes, it is paid with debt (supplied by the central bank), and the taxes are used to pay the interest on the loan. The loan can never be repaid because all money in the system was “created” with interest, so what needs to be paid back is always more than exists.

The criminals that run the central banks have no problems about furnishing governments with enough rope to hang themselves, but it appears that they already have supplied more than enough rope for that.

Just another layer of corruption in case you were running low.

So if they want to force people to be more creative, and more mistrusting of government, I say let them. They will waste money trying to accomplish it, no doubt funding their own porn-blocking companies, but they do that anyway.

Excellent pics, by the way. Generally I see anything in grayscale as a “tasteful nude”. Picture #5 destroyed that stereotype for me. Rest assured that they will block nudes as well.

I find that now, even after changing jobs and making a determined effort to reduce stress, that I have a pretty hard limit to what I can do for how long. I just don’t have the ability to ‘suck it up and keep moving’ so to speak any more, at least not like I used to. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. I just know I’ve changed, permanently. It’s sort of like breaking a chair or something, I guess – you can repair it but it’s never going to be as strong as it was. At least now I get to see my family more, and I have time and energy to do some of the things that mean so much to me.

I’m glad that you got help as well. The safety net has lots of holes in it, but it still catches a lot.

First of all, that you for your Public Service.

Second, a person who experiences a one-time or cumulative traumatic event(s) and can have a NATURAL physical and emotional reaction to this/these event(s). Onset can be immediate or delayed, (sometimes for years) the physical and emotional reactions are perfectly normal and you’re not crazy.

Third, Mainstream society and, more importantly the “*Administration” generally will turn a blind eye to these employees that are dealing with this stress. Sometimes they are acting out, (e.g. abusing sick days, have personal domestic issues, excessive use behaviors etc). Why doesn’t the Administration recognize that these people need help and provide it , you say. Because of the liability attached to treat the employee which means $$$ out of the budget.

Fortunately the U.S Military FINALLY recognized that this stress is treatable and have just ramped up counseling programs so that people learn that they’re not crazy and give them tools to deal with their reactions, (when they arise).

I’m happy you sought out help. Best of luck to you and stay strong.

If society did not have “Humpty Dumpty” repair specialist in the ERs And ICUs I couldn’t write this email today. Many thanks.

On a closing note, it’s not Post Traumatic Stress SYNDROME(PTSD).

It’s just POST TRAUMTIC STRESS, it’s a normal reaction, (not enjoyable), but it can be managed and you can get though it.

Godspeed

Nope, you don’t have to ignore the hand spun
