WHAT HAPPENS WHEN

 

Kids have a magical way of thinking which places great strain upon themselves. They feel the tight connection between wishes and events taking place. It can lead to great joy or deep grief. 

I think I am beginning to believe their beliefs as during the days of less attention and focus upon the woes of the world, chief of which is Trump, things have gone from bad to worse, though frankly, I am not sure of what more the worse can absorb without implosion or explosion. Take your choice, but the end result will be the same.

Today I woke up to news of a stock market deep tanking, just a few days after a great day. Furthermore, more idiocy - dangerous at that - reinstituting the blind, deaf, and dumb, particularly dumb, as regards the climate issues of our days. Never mind the proof as the weather goes berserk, overly hot, or frenetic times of trying to stay warm in unusually cold temperatures, icebergs and frozen lands of the north melting away, exposing myriad issues. Flooding. Changes in the temperatures of the air. Earth, now open, causing great tics and spasms among nations of the world who wish to use that for military and economic gain, not thinking of the food which could feed the myriad starving of our planet.

It truly boggles the mind as to how these willfully declaiming deniers can look at photos of the direct effects of the changing and damaged environment, or can have conversations with those who are directly affected with the change in our environment such as the Inuit losing their ancient homes because they have flooded from the rising seas, which are rising from the melting of the icebergs. But they see none of this. They deny papers and journals overflowing with proof and concern. They deny any connection, any cause and effect and in fact perhaps they believe, as children believe, that if they wish something to be or not to be, it will indeed be so.

Aficionados run shouting along the byways of the world that it is something that is not so; Hence, all legislature, all efforts taken to, if not prevent this situation, then alleviate it, are canceled And in the waters of flooded areas or the hot sands of drought among withered trees and crops, among people and homes, infrastructure sadly, not prepared to deal with the changes, will be the insane legislators  

 Oh, so happy they are in their victories even a the condemn the world to defeats of livability and longevity, of health, of futures for the next generations. Their dumpy, frumpy, Trumpy has recalled yet more improvements of previous errors and proclaims victory as he avers that the prices of cars, for example, will go down and more people will buy cars for there will be a cheaper price. However, I have yet to see any of the auto companies or the sales outlets who say, “Oh for sure, for sure. We will give all the supposed savings over to the customers. In a pig's eye!!

Truly, the world has lost its marbles. When Biden showed signs of aging in ways that could create some issues in series matters the politicians went crazy. They seemed to vie as to who could shout the loudest. Who could spew forth the most hate and accusations?  Predictions of future  cataclysmic. events. Yet today when the president is extremely visibly demented and obviously working as hard as he can, as hard as his sycophants can, to place him on the throne, the GOP is quiet as a door mat – for that is what they are. It has has been stated openly, powerfully, by many, that our democracy within this nation is at terrible risk, as is the world, for  order has been upset, turned over and over and over again until we are not sure whether we are on our feet, or on our head.

Good times are touted even as they are quickly disappearing. People are being told that affordability is rising even as we note the prices going up, larger prices for less content. People are losing jobs left and right. Apparently soon all that will be left are the jobs now empty as we have deported and incarcerated the workers which filled them. Nor do I notice any rushing wave of unemployed rushing to fill those rather filthy jobs.

G-d Bless America is the patriotic song we sing. It has grown empty of meaning as we have allowed this man and his cohorts to debase this blessed nation and have instead laid down many curses upon us. Defeating the words of that song.

Will we wake up to

The good of our yesterdays?

Which should be present in up in our todays,

And will be prominent, relevant in our future.

Again, on us, folks, on us.

Sorry for the late entry, but my computer was having mini strokes on me for hours.
