Because we have more and more narrow channels of information and those channels are focused on clicks, we see America as much more riven with strife than it is. I live in a rural small town and the populous seems friendly, racially mixed and very quiet. But flip on the news or read Free Republic and you’d think we’re ready to deploy artillery on every corner. Even counting all the fake votes, most voting venues were not separated by very much. (If it weren’t for all the fake votes, it would be about the same degree of separation, but in Trump’s favor.) There was nothing like what would have been a similar test performed in, say, 1859. All those riots and assaults are occurring in Democratic blue areas. Stay out of those and, except for cell phones, it is culturally still 1973*. If you want to lead a quiet, happy life, turn off the TV. Step away from the computer. Go outside and smell the flowers. We’ll survive this fake president and we’ll survive whatever he does to the economy. That survival may be better under one president than another...for example, another Bush vs. another Trump. I’d take the Trump any day.
*In the last five years, I’ve only seen two men dressed as...uhm, not men. I can’t say they were trans or dressed as women, because there are damned few women who would leave the house dressed like them. And, as far as the 67 genders, I ask every chance I get if anyone has seen one and hardly anyone even knows what I’m talking about. I’m thinking those of us who look are seeing a tempest in a teapot but through a telescope so it’s all we see. Drop the telescope and realistically evaluate what you see and, unless you’re in San Francisco, there’s nothing of note to see.
There is no legal limit to how much money the government can print.
Have you asked yourself, why does the value of paper money, sometimes, go to zero? Does the dollar have that risk? Will it likely happen soon, or is it more likely to happen in the next century?
