So, now what. What could I possibly say that you don't already know. We don't know for sure that anything is going to get better because often when people feel they are endowed from above, they run wilder, unharnessed. It's highly unlikely that everybody elected is a sensible statesperson with an ability to rise above the cloistered limitations of personal agendas. There will be zealousness and rabidity. And more than likely an undoing of a things that were done right. But from a news point of view, last night indeed was a spectacular chapter in American political history.

Interesting. Technology companies introduce and install technology we don't need because they figured out how to do it. Politicians undo services and systems we need because it wasn't their idea.
DT crisscrossed the US having rallies in all the key states. yet it appears that most who came to the rallies were his base voting bloc, to vote "as if he was on the Ballot". If you have been watching the demographics of the voting public it was easy to notice that the key movable population could be Independents. They are huge in Amerca. That should have been the focus. Also, anotherr focus should have been all of the Repubs across the country who were unified under one sentence, "Please stop talking!"

Ok, I still remember my heady college days and tensile tests in engineering lab where you sit and plot the progress of a test machine as it slowly pulls a steel rod through stretching, necking until the ultimate pop. It was a giddy exercise for engineers, Kids today will have memories of getting arrested for drinking in the streets,
Happiness is whatever makes you happy, not what people say should make you happy,
