The election is today, it's a big one. I have been hearing the odd political ad here and there, normally while watching football. Not that I watch a lot of football but enough that I've been exposed to an ad or three in the past few weeks.
The amount of absurdity, nonsense, and outright lies I've heard are astounding. Most of the candidates out there are guilty of it. I get it, they're trying to get re-elected by selling themselves to voters who are pretty naive. I mean most Americans are content to live their lives and hope nobody annoying bothers them.
Well, every couple of years their elected representatives (not leaders, damn it) go out of their way to annoy them. The old "if I'm elected, I will ..." promises flow freely, most of the candidates know that the voters will go back to their regular routines and not really care if all of those promises are kept.
Leastways that's my take on it.
One side or the other will "win," that's in quotes because the American people should be the winners, not some group of politicians. We, the People, didn't "win" in the last election, if you think we did, you either don't buy gasoline, or groceries, or anything else for that matter. Prices have skyrocketed over the past four years.
Why?
If we don't produce energy, we have to buy it from somewhere. If the price of gasoline goes up, so does everything else. Planes, trains, and automobiles (trucks actually) move everything you want to buy or sell.
Fields are plowed and harvested with machines that use gasoline.
Gasoline, not hopes, wishes, solar, or wind - gasoline. It's that simple.
Vote today. It's important.
And pray...
hard.
On the leadup to today's election, I felt like Samwise traveling to Mount Doom....... all that darkness....er...political ads.....mind numbing. But....but....but....Sarge.....been told inflation is under control by the MSM (screeching Nazgul).
ReplyDeleteNotice they never define what "under control" means.
