Humanity has witnessed on tape delay a dawning of an incomprehensible era. Not new, because there's nothing new under the sun.

Per God's mercies, the ill-equipped will be permitted to live their lives as they did before in slowly diminishing states. Their bodies will likely expire before the facades of what they believed they could rely upon decay into that which unambiguously cannot be maintained or recovered. Maybe He's saving the worst for last for those who lived the vapors that are their lives entirely in the deceptive crevasses of the whore.
Blown-out former factory towns full of bagholders of distinctly duskier demographics were previews of our collective spiritual fate. They continue to be. Don't blame the bagholders.
