Clapping Seals and Blind Faith in the Carrier Wave

The lack of critical thinking and the lack of anything even remotely resembling a coherent set of responses to our many problems and predicaments spells trouble. Maybe we’ve lost a few too many vital IQ points somehow…

The entire convention was an odd mix of envy, resentment, and whipping up false fears about the people on the other side.

But Harris’ speech was 2/3rds   empty rhetoric, 1/3rd hating on what she projected Trump might be or do, and 0/3rds actionable, evaluable policies.

Here are a few things that weren’t mentioned:

  1. Any mention of the deficits DC is running
  2. Any plan for containing spending
  3. No mention of defense budgets or plans
  4. Nothing at all about energy or energy policy
  5. No plans for infrastructure repair
  6. No mention of the US’s terrible standing on such basics as educational attainment or life expectancy
  7. Nothing at all about ruinous increases in insurance costs
  8. Nothing about inflation. 
  9. Nothing at all about ending all the various wars the US is supporting
  10. No mention of the fentanyl crisis and the implied crisis of despair

The assembled faithful at the DNC convention seemed like props to me, like clapping seals in a sad Sea World matinee show.
