We are losing a class act

My wife and I were in our car going home and she turned to me and said "I'm going to miss Joe". He is a wonderful human being who I believed cared about our country and its citizens. He was the right guy for our country. Unfortunately, our country is at its most selfish mindest that is the direction our country has gone since the election Ronald Reagan.

The only regret I have is Joe did not make a speech during Covid empahsizing sacrifice by all Americans asking everyone including business leaders to not raise prices. Instead the selfishness that is now ingrained in America is one of the root causes for the inflation.
He should have invoked how our country put up with rationing in WW2 as a way to hold prices and everyone accepted that it was the best for our country. Instead we have business leaders who only care about themselves and their profits which we saw them having record profits at the expense of our citizens. It is how many people reacted to wearing a mask. Basically, eff people with cancer. We only care that wearing a mask might be an inconcoveience.

It started at the top. Now people will not do whatever helps the rest of us collectively. They can’t think. They believe anything that helps. Humanity requires a sacrifice of their own is communist. And Trump doesn’t do it so why should they?
