I write this for my sanity, and what better shrink could ever be but the hand that writes the placebos to the heart and mind.



This world is sorely lacking mental patients, with an abundance of shrinks. And once those patients began to buy their sanity, *via green pieces of paper* the notion of living sanely was redefined overnight.



The most basic notion of ethics was redefined, "right and wrong --justice...etc;" it all changed because those patients found that they could buy a definition.



The next thing you know, the mental health became expensive and the patients overran the streets. The poverty skyrocketed, the mortgages skyrocketed, the food prices skyrocketed...



and the banks were saved.



There are people eating out of dumpsters, wearing feces soaked in urine (rags) but that's ok, the banks were saved. The oil prices are skyrocketing, polluting the air and the lungs of children, but that's ok, the banks were saved. And we're still selling internal combustion engines so that your children will need those inhalers some more. Electric, what's that? The banks were saved.



Health care? Solar? College loan debt forgiveness?

..............Social security?



Rest assured that after we talk to our imaginary friends, that we'll get right on it.



Isn't that right Benjamin? Yes.

...And before we ever get to you,

the banks will be saved again.



*And that's my introduction to how this world lost it's mind.
