Too Little Too Late

...
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

Naw, it is only too late when you roll over.

I haven't, anyone with me?

Fatalism is easy, isn't it? Why bother getting up in the morning when your fate is predetermined?

TighterMos, more tightly. Work to be tighter. The elections are fatalistic - Rapa makes own choices.

Don't know about confiscation, but if he could, he certainly would! Expect change in gun control. Expect the SC to overturn it.

For example he might introduce laws stating that only those with mental health clearance (which may be issued only by federal government licensed doctors) are allowed to possess firearm.

Any past conviction for whatever except of parking ticket perhaps would also disqualify you from lawful firearm ownership.

That would be at the beginning.

True; except what was implied by forum and title.

We're in a phase where everything we do will be too little too late.

I was happy enough to leave it to that and see where the thread takes it.

So: tell me about your "too little too late" opinions or experiences of late.

I don't have any ordinance I can lie on as I expire.

I'll try to keep standing.

I think "too little too late" is a shit attitude personally.
