The Way Things Ought to Be Jim Green

Many of the things we do, today, are just plain stupid....which is "no no" language in good writing...but we do things that are inefficient-don't work- and in some cases are downright destructive to our civil order--and we seem to lack logic in looking for solutions, -or are just incapable of doing things differently...so we cling to the status quo. As a result, I find myself using lots of exclamation marks in my frustration. Let me give an example: I would like to write this like I was writing to President Obama, today-post presidency-and in the hopes that he is actually reading it.... President Obama: Most of your presidency was a real credit to America-and anyone with an IQ above 3 knows that Trump is a racist idiot-which sums up the ignorance of his comments about your presidency! But there is one area where you and the Democrats made a huge blunder-a blunder that was not only a loss to the American people-but put a cloud over your administration that you were never really able to shake...and cost you dearly, politically! Specifically, you had a golden opportunity to fix unemployment [hereafter UE]-and you let the opportunity slip away--didn't fix it! When the Democrats held majorities in Congress and the White House-and full support of the America people-the honeymoon-the first 6 months, give or take, you had the opportunity to fully implement Pro-Market Humphrey-Hawkins-[hereafter HH--15 USC § 3101]--the most important legislation passed in the 20th Century-and it would have ended our unemployment crisis! Indeed, when I saw you going down the antiquated and unworkable "fix the market, and that will fix UE"-rather than the other way around-I thought "Oh no"-the Democrats don't get it-and as expected the 2010 election caught up with the error and filled the House with lunatics-which hounded you the rest of your presidency.... In fact, HH becomes more and more important with each passing year in our 21st Century market economy-with the proliferation of robots, alone!
