We used to call it "Silly Simon" back in the day.

I enjoyed my sojourn into the world of psycidalia... it was all such an adventure!

Honestly... I thought there was too much fuss made over them. There were always far more dangerous hallucinogenic drugs out there... like alcohol... or things that keep you awake for too long... like amphetamines... which do cause induced psychosis.

Never once did I nor anyone around me experience anything close to a psychotic episode... giggly during... because life's absurdity became so obvious... then just a little sleepy and fuzzy-brained the following day.

I heard tell of people "tripping out" and going crazy etc... but the ones I knew were always one step away from nutso anyway.

Of course... when I experimented... There wasn't the bevy of psych drugs available... they were crude and often debilitating... or mass consumption of them like there is today... everyday... all the time... day in and day out... Holy crap ... today one in five are legally scarfing down the big pharma like there is no tomorrow... bawling about "crippling anxiety"... or whatever... like everything needs fixing.

We kept military personnel on long deployments.. in a war we weren't winning... they were propped up on Prozac...

Back in the day... when human life was really lived on the edge... all people had were molds... fungi... plants... insects... and licking the backs of desert toads... to cope with life's stresses... and they did it intermittently... collectively. The individual wasn't sent home with a prescription... guaranteeing a supply all to themselves.

"throughout Covid that people had less than $400 in their savings."

That $400 is more like $525 now.

Wow, that was a good guess. CPI puts it at $522.84 from April 2020 to their latest, May 2026. www.bls.gov

I miss my fake money Bank of America ATM card with $16,500 unemployment insurance claims payments on it. Those were the days!

Realistically, Trump showed us during pandemic that UBI will keep the economy afloat when the ---- hits the fan, which is where Trump is taking the economy, on purpose this time.
