Let’s Talk Government.

I’ll admit I don’t much follow politics much anymore. It’s all he said she said, an endless campaign for more money. 90% of the time people are upset with one side or another about things they have no control over. Getting us further polarized in our views. I believe it’s a true recipe for depression. So I distanced myself from such topics. Today we a bombarded with news and it’s a constant struggle just to maintain your own thoughts on any given subject.

As for the government, today we enter day 2 of a government shut down. I would think if you were one to want less government, you would rejoice everyday the government is shut down. It doesn’t get much smaller than no government. If your a democrat, you blame the republicans, and if you’re a republican, you blame the democrats. So on and so forth, the vicious cycle will continue on and on year after year. If we had some semblance of control, we would probably be just as self serving. What do we do with the little control we do have.

One popular method is to go march in the streets. Yet, I’m sure if you asked every marcher of a particular issue where they stand on that issue. They would each respond with many variances of self righteousness. And so we stay divided over who gets what and when, like a couple siblings arguing over their parents will. Honestly, I think it’s great to take a stand on issues, but how many actually do it altruistically? I’m sure there are quite a few, but for the vast majority, we all work towards self preservation. Let’s be honest, most of us our after our own slice of the pie. We spent too much on tuition for a college degree, now we can find work in that field. So we want the government to pay us back. We want new homes, but we have no money because were maxed to the hilt with debt. So we buy anyway, and when enough of us can no longer afford our massive debt payments. We need the government to intervene. We are wealthy beyond our wildest dream and we never want anyone to ever touch our sweet hoards. So we get the government to preserve and protect it.

Weather you’re rich or poor, black or white, citizen or foreign, we all want a government to be working for us. We just can’t agree on how that looks. I think the best thing we can do is to start thinking of others, not just ourselves. To continuously work for the betterment of all our neighbors. To be a community that looks out for everyone and not just the few.

President Alleged Affair With A Porn Star.

A story recently came out that our current president allegedly had an affair with a porn star named Stormy Daniels in 2006. My question is who really failed in this scenario? Was it the girl who slept with the wealthy, married, 60 year old man, who just had a child with his new foreigner wife. Or was it the porn star who slept with a 60 year old married man? Let’s break it down. In hindsight, she did make quite a bit a money by doing it. First in the hush money she was paid, $150,000, now with all her publicity she stands to make quite a bit more. So, I think she may have accomplished what she set out for, albeit, a little gross. Maybe she didn’t blow it at all.

Was it Mr. Trump who cheated on his wife? Let’s take a look. Still wealthy, still married to the former model, became president of the United States Of America in the meantime. So as for the Teflon President, by all accounts, he’s doing just fine. I don’t think much phases him in this arena. From my humble perspective the marriage was one all for money anyway, I could be wrong. However, what model marries an over weight 60 year old man? Did Melania blow it? I’ll have to argue against that as well. A foreign model comes to the U.S. marries a wealthy businessman and eventually becomes first lady.  Her and her son will be taken care of for life.

I went into writing this thinking someone really blew it here. Except as I continued to write, I came to the conclusion that everyone in this scenario came out ahead. No damage done, no repercussions. I’m sure that was the goal. That their would be hell to pay. That’s just not how it works this day in age. The president will still be the president, his wife will still be the wealthy first lady. And the porn star will continue on her path, just a little more wealthier than she was. I think the true lesson here is, get rich…
