Society will face severe shortages like during the war, when there wasn't enough yellow and margarine looked like Vaseline. When the Wappler Doppler weather radar goes kablooey, life will be unpredictable, harsh, terrifying. The same thing is happening at my house right now.
Today is the start of Hanukkah and The Twelve Days of Christmas.
Two fun, festive, fundamentally opposed religious holidays, coming together like a train wreck. Historians can't remember the last time this occurred, or explain why it's happening now - other than to signal the end of the world. I'm Jewish, my wife is Christian, and until now, our beliefs have harmlessly canceled each other's out. Our daughter is raised Swiss. My personal adviser, Dr. Laura, thinks I'm weak and stupid for marrying outside the tribe, but that's just her personal view.
