I don't know what's wrong with me these recent days, Lucy. I went for so many years just living in the here and now, dealing with 'what's on the cart,' etc. not under any delusion that Dems or 'liberals' were going to save the world or anything. But these ass hats, whoever they are, just have a way of sticking it to us in such way as I can't avoid the reality of modern dullwit society. On the front end, there was my older sister getting popped for 24 plants, and her car wasn't even towed, and it cost her brother only $50. (Today, the car would have been impounded and sold at auction, the legal stuff and fines would likely have been at least $5,000, very possibly time served, and forget her subsequent 35 year teacher/school librarian career.) On the back end, my dad lost his ass when having to sell his house at the worst time, which such worst selling environment in many decades unmistakably due to worst financial regulation in the same amount of decades. That cost a good bit more than $50, safe to say. I've done my best at trying to not give a crap, just worry about myself, be in the moment, etc. But the world keeps throwing these WTF! events out of the chute, one after another. I can understand Brexit a good bit more than I can understand Trump, but in either instance it was evident that both results amounted to a culmination of a whole lot of "you've got to be kidding" keeping people at home alongside people going to the polls who are 'angry' at the results and conditions obtained by their or their parents previous 'anger vote.' Gripe and bitch all we want, but if we don't come up with something better next time, woe betide us.
