Yuppie, the Sequel

A strange turn of events.  Four years of a Trump presidency with a benediction of Covid 19.  It is becoming clear what really happened through the media's mandate of quality reporting.  Currently though we are in a blitz of confusion.  The war in Afghanistan is bottled up and sitting on a shelf.  What to report?  Ida wreaked havoc in its corridor up the Eastern Seaboard.  Actually there is a lot of tragedy.  Covid remains devastating, and America is grappling with her own selfishness and irresponsibility.  People are killing themselves.  Boatloads of unvetted Afghan immigrants have been hauled into the United States.  Talk about an immigration disaster.  Because  public schools have been reincarnated, politics has been pushed to the surface.  Millions of school kids, after over a year of compromised and most likely ineffective teaching, are back together under the dark cloud of deadly plague.  It is a difficult time, and I would not wish it upon anyone's children.  The lasting effects of Covid on the new generation of America will be seen in the long haul.  Meanwhile, as Colbert would say, things have come into focus, for me anyway.  Four years of deceit, lies, and skullduggery from the Trump administration in his covert and savvy proposed communist coup of America.  One look at his wedge of hair, and now you will see Kim.  It is all he ever has wanted, to be a dictator.  It is a selfish, childish, and demented fantasy.  Almost it has ruined this country.  Whether or not we recover remains to be seen.  Without the ruse of Afghanistan things settle clearly into place.  The American military is a mediocre body of high school drop outs needing guidance.  Always it has been, but Trump has instituted lying as administration.  It is about the pitch, the sell, the Big Lie.  The truth does not matter, because you are trying to sell a product for profit.  We promote our military with a great cavalcade, a NAMM show of defense products.  With this great opportunity of economic gain, the basics have been neglected.  Always the grid and the satellites will fail, and we will be fighting hand to hand.  This is why we lost in Viet Nam.  This is why we lost in Afghanistan.  Trump uses the show as his product rather than taking the time to develop a quality commodity.  This has become America's method.  Quick money.  In the mist of the Covid cloud, America has become lost.  Both Chemours and Smithfield have been sold to the Chinese.  As many people do not know, their pigs are raised in North Carolina, shipped to China for packaging, and sent back to America for sale.  This explains the excruciating puzzle why with this pork plant only a few miles down the road our white meat is so bad.  It's the same for chickens.  They are grown here but are sent to China for distribution.  I haven't been able to buy fresh chicken that tastes worth a damn in several years.  It is notoriously bad in quality.  America has been taken to the cleaners.  Covid has disguised this whole economic onslaught.  The rich have gotten richer, the poor have gotten poorer, and a new Yuppie class has been born.
