I am wondering whether any country on Earth is as far in debt as the USA. Our incredible wealth might be a tad exaggerated.

Wonder why the "mostly peaceful protestors" on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago crashed through glass windows and doors at designer retail stores including Nike (Air Jordans are still a thing), Burberry and Tiffanys? Why not Kmart and Walmart? Why does a leader of BLM purchase homes in very affluent areas? Why not the South side of Chicago or the north side of Milwaukee? Seems they believe in supporting capitalism more than they say?

My wife has a hard core socialist girlfriend. As is this woman’s husband. These two never wear anything except utilitarian clothing. They are academic communists who despise the business community. They’re atheists of course. I’m a white elderly Christian REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER! For fifty years if there was a developer in a TV show he was the bad guy. I’m therefore scum. Their contempt for me is obvious. Except give her a couple of glasses of good Chardonnay and she sidles up to me and stands 6” from me. If there’s one woman in The room who is doable, it’s her. Why? Because I’m a solid 5.5 in the looks department...it’s because she’s attracted to my wealth and vitality and drive. Her small minded mealy mouth husband is kind of pathetic. He’s had one too many bowls of granola. Granola which he’s made himself.

"Facts aren't running the show anymore." There, I said it. But facts are stubborn things. We're quickly coming up on that point where the facts are going to take over "the show". It's gonna be "That 70s show".

Is the "bright new packaging" called Krugman's Delite? I'm surprised that he hasn't been drafted into the Cabinet. IMO, the packaging is not in the least bit bright.

My Mother used to say of my father's youngest brother, " No saint like a reformed sinner." He had been a carefree, sort of wild young person until he met my very religious Aunt. I believe this may be an underlying concern for most of the "elite" liberals. They're trying to aswage that "white privilege, " they think they have to atoin for, so the pendulum has to swing high up the other side to help them feel better about themselves. However, human nature isn't built like that, is it?
