The whole H1B argument got me thinking about this. I think first and foremost we have to trust President Trump to continue his track record of promises made, promises kept. He will put American workers first.
We also have to think about what a Golden Age is. If we’re living in a period of great peace, prosperity, and happiness will many of our current arguments and debates become moot?
My thoughts are we should hold our fire and reduce our stress levels. President Trump’s vision for the future includes an economy so vibrant that people who want to work will have good paying jobs in their fields. The fear and resentment of being replaced by low wage foreign workers will become a thing of the past.
And based on President Trump’s first term actions, I have a hunch the H1B program will be overhauled to prevent foreign workers from being brought in at lower wages.
I'd be thrilled to just live in a world that's more like the 90s.
It's tough to rein in your imagination from there though. Free energy, medbeds, prosperity for everyone. The thought of never again having to lie awake at night worried about paying your bills, losing your loved ones, a war breaking out. No longer being one emergency - even a small one - away from ruin and even more stress.
Everyone walking around with lighter spirits, smiles on their faces, kindness for their neighbors. Spanish off of everything. Safety on our streets. The family unit restored to what it should be. Women having only one father of their children. Men respecting women and not abusing and using them.
No more evil in the world. Children no longer kidnapped, trafficked, and horrifically abused.
No more DEI, no more having to deal with offended snowflakes that get mad when you say Merry Christmas to them. No more rampant mental illness and especially no more medical system as we know it. Seriously, fuck doctors.
There are so, so many things I want for us and this world. It'd be incredible to see it.
I sometimes allow myself to dream a bit.
I think the ideal would be the 1950s, even though that's before my time. Prosperity, hope for the future, and the expectation that atomic power would make energy too cheap to meter. Except this time, we'll have a real free power source that's not centrally controlled, hopefully.
Plus let's bring back chrome, V8s, tailfins, two-tone paint and wide whitewalls.
"I think the ideal would be the 1950s, even though that's before my time."
It's not before my time. And you're right.
No offense, but you can keep the automotive apects.
4 real dawg...
I sure as hell ain't going back to swing axles, king pins that fall out and bias ply...
