"Joe Biden has signed a $40 billion aid bill to Ukraine. But the biggest beneficiary isn’t ordinary Ukrainians — it’s the US military contractors set to receive at least $17 billion in additional revenue." https://jacobinmag.com/2022/05/ukraine-aid-bill-congress-biden-military-health/

The extent of self-delusion is now astonishing.

In the last couple of days nobody has said a word about any of this to me … friend or stranger .

So, somehow …reality is somehow being treated or considered as optional (?!)

Reality is certainly not ‘positive’ enough by contemporary standards of healthy optimistic living & we’re increasingly fearful of ‘spreading’ negativity by noting or commenting on IT ( reality ).

I think we’re tacitly agreeing to ‘wait IT out ‘.

As if reality were a passing thunderstorm .

I think it will be increasingly common to be generally unable to detect ourselves doing this as we are disconnecting from feedback ( sensory / sensible relations with our situation & actions) !

So thank you ( Yasha…) for remarking on your observations.
