In San Francisco, KPMG is actually moving out of the KPMG building because conditions in the city have deteriorated so dramatically…

Accounting firm KPMG is set to move out of its $400 million namesake building, another high-profile exit from San Francisco’s beleaguered downtown.

The consulting and accounting giant first leased space in the 25-story office tower when the building opened in 2002. Its name hangs above the entry to the skyscraper where the company currently occupies more than 100,000 square feet.

It comes as shoe store Alto prepares to exit San Francisco Centre, the city’s biggest mall, next week.

Businesses and residents have fled downtown San Francisco since the pandemic with groups blaming crime, homelessness and work-from-home keeping people from downtown.

As I discussed earlier this week, a CVS store in Washington D.C. is being permanently closed because teens would loot it multiple times per day…

A Washington D.C. CVS store is shutting its doors after being repeatedly ransacked by thieves, the chain has confirmed.

The pharmacy, located in the Columbia Heights neighborhood, went viral last October when videos emerged of it totally stripped of all its products after being targeted by a teen gang.

This is what a lawless society looks like.

At this point, things are so bad that Walmart and Target “have begun locking up underwear and socks”…

As you can see, my headline was not an exaggeration at all.

We really are locking up underwear and socks, and we really are allowing violent criminals to go free.

The thin veneer of civilization that we all depend upon on a daily basis is breaking down all around us, and you never know when someone will totally flip their lid and start shooting at you…

Our society is not ready for the changes that are coming.

Fast forward to 7:00

I want you to watch my son wrap up the finale of season 2 last night

25 years old and he already became a multi-millionaire. Just by following his dreams

Not by shoplifting at self checkout counters, even though he lives in a big city, not by being a lazy excuse making drug addict or alcoholic. Not by hiding inside living in fear, but by following his dreams

Check it out. He's a good man. Listen to how he respects people, and earns their respect in return

Believe it or not I really respect you

BUT YOU ARE NOT FUN

YOU'RE NOT FUN

It would be horrible hanging out with you

I couldn't imagine living with you, because you're not fun

Motherfuckers, I love you… You are a nut! So am I! That's why I like you, mother fucker. You're crazy. Hold on a second I'm pouring another stiff Irish coffee here

I've got some shit I want to tell you

YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE :

Has been assuming everything was about your perspective

I'm talking about the downward spiral of humanity… You erroneously assume this was specific to YOU and your generation

You're only seeing it from YOUR PERSPECTIVE

But that's bullshit. There have been many many generations before you, each of them eventually growing older, reaching this same point of life that you, Jerry and I all experienced

This has happened over and over and over and over again

Back in the 1600s, people our age were convinced the world was going to hell because of science

There was a time people our age tried to warn the world about the demon known as the "horseless carriage"

There was another generation before us who was convinced they were witnessing the end of the world because of that scary newfangled rock and roll thing and that devil named Elvis Presley

It's always been like that, dude

You, Jerry & I lived long enough to finally reach that same point in our lives as the generations before us

Of course we are all witnessing the downward spiral of humanity, But that downward spiral has been underway since the dawn of mankind

As technology improves and global population increases, satellite and internet news broadcasts beaming at the speed of light, media hyping the bad and profiting off people's fears… Of course it seems like that downward spiral is getting worse and worse and worse

But it's still the same old downward spiral as before. It just has more flashy content now… And it's going to continue getting flashier and flashier, and it's going to seem increasingly worse…

But you, Jerry and I are now at the end of our games…

We made it All these years, as unlikely as that seems…

We will be gone soon.. BUT THE WORLD IS NOT GOING TO END

Today's generation Z will open their eyes one morning and realize THEY ARE THE BOOMERS

And they are going to think the world is about to end

See what I'm saying?

THAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE:

Thinking it was all about you

I'm sorry. I'm only trying to send the distress signal. That's what Jesus told me to do, make those aware the End Times are, in fact, near.

Regardless of that, what you said reminds me a lot like an old episode of Dobie Gillis, where Dobie's friend Maynard Krebs freaks out about all the newspaper hype about the Soviet Union and potential coming nuclear war. Dobie is trying to calm Maynard down, with almost no luck, "like BOOM!" lol. Anyway, during the end of that episode there was a time capsule their university was setting up for future students to see their past, and they could each donate one thing to the student time capsule. So Maynard says he's not donating anything because the human race will all be dead by then anyway. The principle of the school then opens an old time capsule from the 1920s, and handed him an old newspaper. The top headlines reading "Shocking End of the World Imminent!"

So maybe I'm Maynard acting like the end of the world will happen. Perhaps not. Look what happened to the Soviet Union after all. Maybe that is the future for us as well.
