In the fable of the ant and the grasshopper, the grasshopper is a lazy hedonist who lies around in the sun all day while the industrious ant toils away, storing up food for the winter. The grasshopper mocks the ant for working so hard. Then they weather changes, and the grasshopper begins to go hungry. He goes to the ant begging for food, and the ant basically tells him to fuck off. This is a lesson that has been taught to children for thousands of years.
But today, as you know, we live in clown world, where everything is inside out and upside down.
Today, prices are skyrocketing and inflation is starting to run out of control under Joe "I can't find my pants" Biden. The consequence of this is that those ants who worked hard, denied themselves, and saved their money will see their savings stolen away by inflation. Those grasshoppers who spent everything on toys and vacations, never saved a dime, and went up to their necks in debt will be given a safety net by Mamma Government, and will be rewarded for their spendthrift ways with welfare.
You know things are fucked up when an ancient Greek fable is turned upside down and mocked by those who rule over you.
