Hi
I can't believe it, I made it, one day until the election.
I'm so ready to have this over with!
The whole thing has been embarrassing, I can't believe that this is happening in our country.
It's like something you would see in a movie parody.
Hillary is the luckiest candidate in history, I don't think that she could beat anyone but Trump.
But she got to run against someone so repugnant that having the Clinton's in the White House again looks like a good thing by comparison.
I'm not saying that she isn't qualified, she is, but I think I'd rather have had Bernie, or Biden.
But now we'll get 4 more years of the Republican's trying to block everything on general principles even if it was originally their idea, investigating the same things over and over and getting nothing done.
I used to be a Republican, Betty and Gerald Ford were my wife's aunt and uncle, and I voted for Nixon and the first George Bush, as well as Regan.
Everyone will lament the fact that manufacturing jobs are on the decline while ignoring the fact that the world is changing and there won't be jobs in China pretty soon either, just as there aren't in Japan now.
Remember when they were going to take all our jobs away?
The robots are coming.
Which gets me to my main complaint about our government.
They can't think more then a month ahead!
When is the last time you heard any discussion about long term planing for the future.
I guess if you think the world is only six thousand years old you don't see any reason to.
The world is changing, computers, and mechanization are replacing jobs everywhere.
Is anyone thinking about that, there aren't going to be jobs for anyone in the future.
Even jobs at McDonald's will disappear, they are already working on completely robotized fast food pickup windows.
The world will be a vastly different place in 50 years, we need to plan ahead.
I know I was around 78 years ago and I've seen the changes, I can actually remember a few horse drawn commercial vehicles on the streets, and when a DC3 was high tech.
My father was an engineer and he used a slide rule!
He would have loved computers.
I can even remember before there was TV!!!
Not to mention cable news.
I miss Walter Cronkite.
We are always going to be on the edge of a crises unless we start thinking ahead, but the odds on that seem pretty slim.
