The dilemma of one American fella who’s a few days older than Joe B. ...

1st pls read this article:  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10341663/Biden-confused-CNN-correspondent-points-mixing-COVID-19-tests-antiviral-pills.html

Is Joe just too old or too limited to do much of anything much less run a country at a time of rather significant internal and external challenges.    Costs… vote buying nonsense butt… mostly… plain and simply… unrepayable DEBT.  We are self-destroying ourselves.   Joe and others don’t get it.   Or they’re simply too old and stupid (and politically in need of routine required toilet flushin’) as our founders/fighters did with their nincomPOOPs a while back.

That’s it folks – in about 100 words – good luck America.

A simple attempt at awareness…

Two offerings about America’s top competitor in today’s world market and its basic reason for being… its fundamentals:

·         https://nexxworks.com/blog/what-we-can-learn-from-the-chinese-leadership-model   Folks I’ve read some of this one… have no idea re: accuracy or simple sensibility but I ask this – they make mistakes and they appear to learn… what say thee?

·         And words from one of our east coast schools – pls go to:  https://hbr.org/2021/05/what-the-west-gets-wrong-about-china  My comment – well instead of commentin’ a suggestion as November 8, 2022 arrives… our press, politicians, bureaucrats and others... are they addressing any of the topics raised in this article?  Are we voters demanding answers...?

Does anyone measure – simply... factually… realistically… numerically… or as we simply say… fundamentally… what works… what doesn’t work… learns and modifies… corrects… acts… survives… in America’s various forms/levels/etc. of leadership now…?   Well, I simply googled – will America survive… here are a few fast google responses:  About 2,850,000,000 results (0.76 seconds)

·         https://www.amazon.com/Suicide-Superpower-Will-America-Survive/dp/0312579977

Now, my few words based on almost 8 decades of American life… its ups and downs.   Materialism has pretty much been us Yankee Doodle dandy’s motivation at least for the upper fancy 5…10% of us.   Here are a few words from Matthew 13:12

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.” 

Folks, we’ve got a problem… DEBT, deficits, worth less dollars, etc. ain’t da’ solution... or da' answer.  Materialism is rampant in America.   Responsibility is miA... missin' in America.

History’s repeating solutions

Every time the few words I repeat above ⬆️ come to my… this gettin’ old ornery fella (aka… goof) I simply realize that all we the people are self doing today and have been… is similar to the reason our founders and fighters went about setting up ⬆️ a place that recognized a simple fundamental… we ain’t all the same!

We know so little about ourselves… we the people… us Homo sapiens!   So darn little that we just simply keep repeatin’ ourselves as we advance into even bigger and fatter and much more costly forms of materialism.   We simply don’t follow the few lessons of survival taught by others with many more centuries… millennia of survival.

That’s it folks… that’s all I’m gonna say/write/share this morning.   In a few learned words of reality and wisdom I have wrapped up
️ what I like to call the contest that we the people of America are now fully (110% of our remaining time on earth 🌍) engaged in… materialism v. responsibility!

We are on the road to self destruction!   History’s well traveled road.

What is America worth… ? To you… ?

If you even pondered the possibility that the nine words above require answers in $$$’s… maybe best to not read on!

The questions above were never even posed to these young men…

… who simply did as told to do when needed.

Would we… me and you… give all for America… YES __ or NO __ ?

Or, are deflated $$$’s by the trillion todays answers to the ?’s above… YES __ or NO ___ ?

Young American Men… R.I.P.
