Good News for the New Year

John Stossel Life is getting Better Video

For those on both the Far Right and Far Left who spend much of your time complaining and insisting the "end of days " is near.  I hope in the New Year you can lighten up and face reality !!!!  😀

We are lucky enough to live in a modern world where food is plentiful, healthcare is incredible, peace reigns, property rights are protected, etc.

And yes some people struggle, you have to pay taxes, etc...  But as I have said before, you are only as happy as you choose to be... I liked both comics so you got 2.  Click on the image to zoom.

Happy New Year !!!!

Now here is a person who is really dedicated to staying unhappy and miserable...

WAPO Opinions | The past decade was lousy. Women told you it would be.

I mean you can praise Obama, Trump or the Congress, but I sure think the last ten years was pretty incredible for most Americans

John said...

The only significant bummer was this problem...

Which of course all the "low taxers" and "big spenders" contributed to.

And apparently the current US citizens love "low taxers" and "big spenders", as long as they benefit personally.

On the upside that is part of why the 2010's were so great...

Well, if you truly believe that Obama and Trump didn't materially impact the "pretty incredible" arc of the last decade, then it should be easy to vote for whatever Trump alternative the Democrats nominate. Surely the republic can withstand four years of Liz Warren or Bernie Sanders, can't it?

John said...

Sean,
This seems relevant.


Is this really an argument for allowing incompetent people to fly planes and just hoping for the best? --Hiram


Maybe... But I think it is an argument that our system is pretty robust, with lots of checks/balance. Therefore it is hard for one person to screw it up. G2A

I am most certain that the Republic could stand 4 or 8 years of Warren / Sanders.

I mean it is unlikely that they could accomplish a small fraction of what they promise. Between the States, the GOP and the Courts I am pretty sure they would be stymied.

John said...

I guess the big question is how they would enforce the current US Laws?

Obama deported a whole lotta illegal residents... Would they continue to keep illegals out and deport folks? Or would they let a flood enter and stay?

Of course if they won with a Liberal wave that took over the House and Senate... :-( They could turn us into a disaster like France.

Sean said...

Just admit you're going to vote for Trump.

John said...

I may vote for Biden or Klobuchar... I have voted for Amy before...

But if the DEMs nominate a DEM Socialist I may vote for the lying crook again...
