…… something really huge and crazy might be about to unfold over the next month or so.

What am I talking about?

I noticed a post on Threads yesterday from someone who reported that his job was operating a very large and expensive piece of heavy equipment. But on Friday, he was unable to work. Why? Because the people who do the dirty work of setting up and maintaining that piece of equipment just never showed up?

Why?

Because they were terrified of being detained by immigration cops.

…..This could all break down very very fast and the economy could be in free fall.

Like literally, within the next three or four weeks.

How?

Well, if 40 or 50 or 80 or 90 percent of the people who the good bishop talked about in her sermon the other day, don't show up for work, what do you think would happen?
