The Sky is a Toilet

 The pain in my right eye is searing like a commercial jet screaming over the tree tops of our neighborhood.  There are well known destinations which have airports within their boundaries.  San Diego is one, where the runway borders the water.  Perhaps the best known is Nassau in the Bahamas, where as you try to relax on the beach of the bluest water jets also scream over the top of your head destroying any chance of relaxation.  Modern American society, our current society has changed to accommodate Attention Deficit Disorder.  We hear no mention of this physical, psychological, and emotional malady anymore.  The medical establishment has chosen to treat symptoms.  This is a grievous mistake, and grievously hath Cesar answered it.  The American medical establishment sold out when they were commandeered by insurance and Big Pharma.  It began with a simple HMO, and the wealth began to accrue.  Now insurance is the primary focus of health care providers.  They don't spend much time addressing your concerns.  They find out if you have insurance, and if you do their money is guaranteed.  You are secondary.  America's health care is secondary to their income.  It is a club of sorts.  The reasons for ADD are important, but we decided to ignore them and instead treat their symptoms.  Our health system is doing that for most things.  I don't think it would be possible to survive in modern American society without drugs of some sort.  You can jump on the wagon, go cold turkey, or straighten up and fly right but you will not feel better.  Most times I feel worse, that is without exercise.  You need some form of activity, vibration, or noise to keep the negative funk off of you.  If you go Zen then you will suffer.  All of us are suffering from ADD, and with the help of the immediate gratification of the internet we have adapted to this frenetic pace of life.  It best can be seen within the structure and discipline of the United States military.  They are pulled tight as a drum, and they are expected to jump when the man says jump.  ADD to me manifests itself like psychosis or neurosis.  I was blamed, because working on ships was an escape from the dire American reality.  It is the leisure industry.  It is rest and relaxation.  That translates to keeping crisis minimal.  It is unwanted.  Drama is unwanted.  People cruising and working in the cruise industry want peace, serenity, and escape from the harshness of American life.  It does not easily reflect the symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder.  As a society I feel we have lost touch with a workable, effective, pleasing pace of life.  With the Trump onslaught the American free market has begun to resemble plantation life with low wages and few benefits.  Corporate America was quick to jump ship and capitalize on almost free labor in China and India.  We sold out America with a snap of fingers.  Only now after three years of Covid lock down is the labor market beginning to demand more.  It has to right itself or America will not survive.  We will become another third world country with one percent of elite rich and the rest forgotten.  We are that now.  The rest of use are fighting it out in the trenches of what is left.  What is left?  America is rife with heinous aural pollution, environmental pollution, and an unhealthy infrastructure.  If we do sober up, it does not help.  It just points out how polluted America has become.  I am not one to embrace anger in any capacity, but I feel anger when I see our sky get filled up like a toilet.  Blue skies become a holding cell for jet turds.  They shit out this pollution like clockwork right on top of the trees, and my eyes burn.  My right eye only sears with pain when my left ear rings, and tinnitus is caused by low frequency and high frequency sound.  The frequencies you have lost ring or buzz in response to this unwanted stimulus.  It affects my productivity and my quality of life everyday.  Your corporate presence determines when you become a ghetto, and Fayetteville now has become a ghetto.  Who decided that Fayetteville was not worth consideration in diverting offensive aircraft is who we should address.  Josh Stein has found out that Mitch and his crew control most things.  States cannot regulate air traffic.  It has to come from the boys club in Washington.  Their buddies can fly over the tops of your heads and drop Covid 19 whenever they want.  The title of my first novel is "Otis Drops Covid."  Just watch the military planes and the commercial jets and try to find logic.  Of course they seek to operate incognito, but honest it is not.  These little private planes with creative LLC names most likely are hauling drugs.  Thank goodness the direct line of Afghanistan poppies has been curtailed.  Capitalism has been neutered, so America has been forced to operate in the mob zone.  That is where we are now.  Before Volodymyr Zelenskyy there was mobsters in Ukraine.  Rudy was scrutinized for rubbing shoulders with these men.  Suddenly Putin invades the Ukraine, and we are sending them billions of dollars.  Pick your poison.  Watching our blue sky fill up like a toilet is unusually infuriating.  Trump turds don't look good, they don't smell good, and they help no one but Trump.  Why does he get to shit in our sky?
