Not 1971
It’s not 1971…
As I listen to the old Frank Zappa record next to the swimming hole. But it’s the last summer in the 2010s and next year is certainly going to be one of change. Maybe good, but probably bad. I have no idea how 2020 will turn out but I do see a lot of change and rough sailing come the 2020s. Lots of angry people, maybe change, maybe a backlash.
I do think liberals and the news media are over confident about the coming election as incumbents often win and I’m not sure people are moving as fast to the hard left as they want to believe. Too many believed Donald Trump could never win in 2016. History proved them wrong. I just hope that Democrats can nominate someone stronger then George McGovern — it would be an embarrassment to our country to allow the incumbent to be elected by an enormous margin.
I also think a recession is overdue, as is inflation and maybe our energy supply isn’t as stable as people want to believe. Inflation has been low for a very long time, it’s bound to crank up again with all the government spending. As is gas prices and energy more generally Or maybe not, we are living in odd times. Climate change may throw a wrench into things.
