The two leading candidates for president of the these United States in 2024 is Joe Biden and Donald Trump. One is physically decrepit, the other is morally bankrupt. Seventy percent of the country does not want Biden to run again; sixty percent does not want Trump. Nonetheless, this nation, because of its twisted and antiquated electoral system, is able, and willing, to force these two done men down America's throat. Sick.

The nation that prides itself on law and order has distributed, (by hook or by crook), 400 million guns to its 330 million citizens. And, these citizens are not bashful about using their guns-shooting one another at a clip that leaves all other nations on Earth appalled. Sick.

The richest nation on Earth is witnessing homeless encampments spring up in every city in America. The phenomena is fueled by mental illness, illegal drugs, illegal immigration, and a general lack of dignity - people who refuse to care, refuse to work, refuse to respect the rights and space of others.
This is 2023. There is no war. There are no Dust Bowls. The stock market is sky-high; unemployment is at an all-time low. This is not 1929, before FDR's New Deal, when shanty-towns sprung up because that is what good people had been reduced to in bad times. This is purposeful decay, and sloth. It is a portrait of a great nation protected by two oceans on either shore, and two friendly nations on its northern and southern borders. No other nation on Earth is so ideally situated. So, what do we do? We attack ourselves. And, we will lose. Sick.

Each American city that welcomes and provides for the immigrants will receive upwards of at least 20K or more per immigrant, man, woman and child from the U.S. government. I am receiving less than that per year in social security and pension combined. They are given tents, food, clothing and mattresses, as well as some form of assistant by checks (to spend as they wish).
I guess being American born doesn't hold clout or appreciation for the tax paying hard-earned working citizens who have had to endure unjust cuts in benefits. The nerve of corporate America wanting retired seniors to return to work. Shameful! Is it fair to say we too are still living for the American dream? After all robbing peter to pay paul has been a game long played by dysfunctional American leaders. I guess they give wanting to be "The Big Man on Campus" some whole new level of meaning. Did I mention the cost of the military involvement in war? Well don't mind me, not that my opinion even matters, after all I'm just one of millions in America STILL livin out a dream.
