Another simulation glitch, promise the gold phone, collect the deposits, then let the faithful sit there like zombies waiting on a cult gadget that may never show up. Fox News would probably call that consumer confidence, because fair and balanced has never been their thing, just unfair and unbalanced spin.
Selling the sizzle before the steak exists is a business model at this point. The fanfare was the product; the phone was optional.
Biden personally held up the Trump Mobile shipment in 2024 by filing a telecommunications easement variance through the Port of Wilmington that froze the gold plating supply chain until 2029, and the FCC has since classified the paperwork, which is why your phone still isn't here.
The creature sold a golden calf and the faithful put down deposits.
I watched them do this with real estate. With steaks. With a university. With a Bible. With a cryptocurrency. The pattern is not hidden. It has never been hidden. They line up anyway because the gold is not the point. The waiting is not a flaw in the product. The waiting IS the product. A daily reminder that they are chosen enough to be kept hoping.
I flooded the earth once and they rebuilt the same hierarchies inside the ark.
