I’m back after a self imposed exile as I refused to take back something I wrote here a few years back, but to be honest, I don’t even remember what it was. Then a day or so ago I got a begging letter from this site and decided I would see if I could get back on, I was thinking that if you wanted my money you might let me write here again, well I got no money for you but I can sit here and type a blue streak with hardly any effort at all. I’m a two fingered typist who’s learned to type as fast as I vocalize in my mind, notice I didn’t say think. Obviously I was also able to get back on here, and please let me thank you for that.
So, what’s on my mind these days? Politics? I have to tell you that over the last ten years especially politics and political thinking has really become a desert of ideas and common ground, it’s just all mean spirited gotcha games and we all suffer for it. So, what to do about it? Well I’m gonna try and express my ideas and views and hope for the best not expecting everybody or even many to agree with me, but at least allow me the space to say how I feel.
They seem to be passing Biden’s BBB multi trillion dollar extravaganza, I’m gonna say that so far it’s been kinda hard to find specifics, no, I get it, roads and bridges, wind mills and charging stations, free this and free that, student debt forgiveness and taxes on the billionaires. But, for specifics, it’s another one of those “to see what’s in it they gotta pass it”, well, here we go, but for now , let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that what’s in it turns out to be useful and fair to all segments of our society.
It’s easy to come at a thing purely ideologically and hence not give something a chance, but what if for example, free college actually enables people to become better paying their own way citizens and becoming tax payers, enhance the nations bottom line way more than the sacrifice to get them their education.
What if, wind mills and solar and whatever else is coming actually cleans our air and waters returning our land back to a more pristine environment without any sacrifice of technology or convenience, I mean, if this is something we want, then we have to start somewhere and once in serious motion, perhaps contributions and inventions could start coming that would bring this to a true workable reality.
My two fingers have cramped, but I’ll be back with more soon enough
