In about three weeks, the country is going to vote for a President. When the election is over, 27% of the country will be “spiking the ball,” 25% of the country is going to be depressed, and the rest country will be thinking “WTF just happened in 2016?”
No matter who wins, here is what you need to know:
(1) Cops will walk beats, judges will hear cases, soldiers and marines will be deployed overseas, sailors will be keeping the sea lanes open, and airmen will keep the skies safe.
(2) Machinists will make things, carpenters will build things, mechanics will fix stuff, engineers and artists will create stuff, and plumbers will make sure the crap flushes away
(3) Teachers will teach your kids, doctors & nurses will patch you up, farmers will grow food, and trainers will help you lose weight.
(4) One or two of your neighbors will move and sell their home to a new neighbor. Your cousin will buy a car from a dealer or off of Craigslist. You will probably get a new smartphone which has more computing power than your computer had 15 years ago.
(5) Your town or neighborhood will get a new priest or rabbi. Your neighbor’s kid will reject or find God. Many teenagers will get a new tattoo.
America could be better by rediscovering the old way or embracing change, BUT it’s a pretty great place because of you…and me…and the cops, the farmers, the nurses, the mechanics, the programmers, the plumbers, the rabbis, the military service members and, dare I say….
…the real estate and mortgage brokers 😉
The new President is going to be awesome and horrible (depending upon your point of view) but, for the most part, you are probably pretty awesome regardless of your choice in President.
We don’t have to be enemies when we pursue our self interests.
