The same Google Jockeys.....

Who to their credit are knowledgeable and eloquent.....

Who for years have been nothing but apologists for the Establishment, who for years questioned anything that arose in opposition or question to the Establishment....

Who for years supported the great Free Trade deals, the great modernizing, who glibly could post this statistic or that showing how this "progress" is positive....

Are now at a point today where on paper, the standard of living is higher than ever.

Economic output is higher than ever.

Wealth per capita is robust compared to most times in history.

Medical treatments and care have made huge strides.

"Wellness!" and "gym!" and ?yoga" are all in full effect.......

BTW these people who are openly shoplifting and doing crimes - their kids are going to grow up just swell. Maybe the Google Jockeys can highlight some tax credit that will transform that generation too.



Yet.

Rampant, mass, indiscriminate violence is a daily thing now.

And mental health - more and more are mentally screwed up.

But all these years, the Google Jockeys had it under control. After all, a link and a statistic is always reality on the ground.

Duck and cover.

Lockdown drill.

Increased police presence.

(Oh that just describes schools on any given day).

Hopefully the assault weapons get banned - eventually, I feel they are going to be.

And after that - heinous acts of violence, nit just by nut jobs - but between political camps will continue to increase, and will be the new normal - not even newsworthy.

But hey - the "link" will say it's all good.
