Political Non-Mayhem Thursday
So often when we think of "news" we mean bad news. That means we bury a lot of the good stuff.
If you surf the headlines and skip over weather stuff, it's actually pretty good right now in the US. Consider:
-- Inflation is down, and it looks like a recession will be avoided. Gas prices have moderated.
-- Crime is down, too, overall and in most big cities.
-- We came out of the pandemic in not-so-bad shape, given the severity of that shock to our financial and social systems.
-- Our leadership at the moment seems pretty stable. You may not like it-- but there aren't bad things happening.
-- And it is summer!
