Four Things I Think Will Occur By 2030

 1.  Between now (2023) and 2030....I suspect more than 1-million kids will officially leave the public school system, and go either private or home-school.  It probably will reach a point where some districts get desperate and attempt state laws to discourage this.  

Somewhere in this mix, I'll also predict that 40,000 teachers....some in their 40s to 50s....will be let go.   Some will never teach again, and present a problem for future employment....as companies discover even with a degree....the teachers aren't really that smart or capable.  

2.  It'll reach a point where even your ten-year old kid will ask you what the narrative is on such-and-such allowance problem, or curfew violation.  

Some idiot will even start up a narrative 'index' to help you better understand the BS you are being told.  

3.  Some CBS executive will quietly admit that 60 Minutes hasn't done a single investigative piece in 26 years, and quietly dismantle the show.

4.  Some school fight will end up with a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the school for failing to protect the student, with the school board unable to resolve this without creating a significant tax on the district.

Why Do We Still Have 'Trump Is The Messiah' Thoughts Even Today?

 Well....it's a tangled-up problem.

First, probably over fifty-percent of American society is skeptical to such a degree....that they've lost complete trust in the news media and the political spectrum (from both the left and right).

Second, people have heard so many promises through the past couple of decades....with the accomplishment level barely at 10-percent....that they want something entirely different.

Third, some people (probably in the 20-percent range) see the Presidency and DC business as a reality show.  To them, Trump makes perfect sense.

Fourth, this rule-book of President statesmanship has been figured out....NOT to be 'rocket-science' (based on both Bush II and Obama).  In fact, one can say from the past twenty-odd years....it's mostly a 'show' with the networks getting some 'script' from someone and juicing up the landscape for the viewer.

Fifth, at some point early on in the Obama administration....after winning the Nobel Prize for Peace....for nothing....it became a weekly thing to proclaim him as a Messiah of some sort.  It was a comical act, but people eventually wised-up and said no matter what Republican came next....he'd be a Messiah as well.

In a way, it's a funny way that we've progressed upon.  It was a comedy show before Trump came along.....all he did was treat it as a authentic reality show....with 'New York' glamor and wit.
