#4 The generation(s) of Americans raised and experienced in the 20th American Century way of life, are often ill-prepared to deal with the modern era that has corrupted and collapsed what were safe and reliable choices and venues. Assume corruption and dishonesty in every financial outreach or urgent appeal that you cannot confirm from a trusted source, and you may miss some opportunities, but will avoid serious mistakes. The daily telephone barrage of foreign voices representing "medicare"windfalls, or credit solutions, or opinion surveys is a perfect example. Like most, we don't answer the telephone unless we know the number.

And with the Bidet invasion of millions of un-vetted, military age males, the coming attraction is going to be South American style organized, planned, strong-arm burglary and home invasion crews working high-end zip-code areas with little apparent defensible space after skilled recon drive-throughs. An emerging plague on Blue urban area business and residential locations, and likely interesting surprises unfolding in Red rural locations when they meet the Unorganized Militia Senior Division.
