Except where it is not. The economy is actually the linchpin upon which Trump planned to stage his second term election. Unfortunately for us all, the market has gone into the toilet and does not appear to have any chances to get the hell out of there! Not with this guy in charge. Not with this demented one who screamed, literally screamed at his aides to do something, screamed at Powell of the Fed to do something. Well, the something has already been done, and as I and many much, much brighter economists and experts predicted, the economy tanked.
It is simple logic. One cannot tinker wih the trade relations with the entire rest of the world, threaten over and over again, send shivers through the world and the American markets as they grew to realize they are dealing with a madman, a man of no knowledge about anything worth knowing, and so here we are.
The market, stocks and bonds, have been screaming recession warnings and alerts for months already. The Fed has been in a dither, not really able to figure out the final decision as to what to do. It is indeed very difficult to plan approaches when the rules change hour by hour!
What is also very difficult now is the ability to teach children the right path to follow, the one that emphasizes brotherhood, unity, aid to those who need it, altruism, honesty, humanity, for what they see now is the President of the United States of America, their country, turning on all that we used to value, appearing to go soft on gunslingers, murderers, and harshly on those who need our help. He backs people of the ilk of King, who says that rape and incest have allowed the population to grow and fill the earth and without these actions, would the world even be populated? Ergo, rape and incest are perfetly acceptable policies!!!!!
What to do is to accept the signs and accept what they mean. The man is losing it. NO, has already lost it, and in another world, in his private world, that would mean one thing, but in the public role he is supposed to play, uh-uh. Nope. No way. When the truth is openly presented to the public, what will his power seeker minions say when that immoral man and their own actions, his dementia and their selfish denials will be exposed? What will they say, how will they defend a crook as nasty as he is, and their own actions and culpability in the harm done to the country, the world and the very existence of this planet as they traded right for money, for power, justice for prejudice, endordsed hatred.
Never before has there been such a huge onslaught of legal battles. It seems as if every action that this man takes causes a legal problem even as it also exacerbates human problems. Never before has the President been faced with so many personal lawsuits and he well deserves them, but what have we done by allowing him into office and to stay in office, even to run for a second term? What has the Republican Party, McComnnell allowed, backing Russia over his country, refusing to insure that they do not tamper with the 2020 elections? Is this what we now have, a Quisling Brigade right here in our very own counry?
It is disheartening, to say the least. So what to do? Many, tired of the tension, tired of the hassle, tired of the very sad and perilous situation, turn away from it all. They think blindness is a good policy. NO, it is not, for blindness can be helped, either by new miraculous devices or by training in the use of compensatory devices. We need to do that here, but, I will say, that back on the ranch, so to speak, take joy in the family, in the grandchildren.
Personally, yesterday was a riot. One of my visiting granddaughters has a penchant for order, has a great talent and energy and can make order out of disorder in any closet or household. When she got a look at my closet, uh oh, I knew we were in for a day of work, of laughter and of discoveries.
So that's where it went echoed many times. Laughter as we tried to figure out what things were. Twinkle in the eye as retro clothing was plucked and stowed away in their luggage. Darn, for there goes my chance to be hip!!
Four huge black bags later, the shoes and the sneakers and the shirts, and the pants, the vests and sweaters were taken over to Goodwill and rated a greeting from the manager!! My pleasure. Two bags to the garbage and planned for today - the rest of the closet! Help!! I am trapped in a reordered household and cannot get out!!! But seriously, this was a godsend and I actually have some room for more clothes! And perhaps, I can muster up the energy later on, but soon, to attack the huge built in closet. Uhhh, think I would rather go to the movies, but then again, the reminder phone calls will never end until I do it, so....
During these hard times when we cannot figue out our exit strategy, we need to take our fun where we can get it, turn to the family as a strong wall in our homes, talk to friends and laugh, laugh, laugh, for the alternative is not really a good one.
Yes, it is the economy, but it is more than that. We need to find a balance in this unbalanced world, difficult to do, but try we must. Meanwhile, I need to buy some more big black bags!!
