I’m Still Bullish on America

There’s a fine line (and a t) between bullish and bullshit. Believe me, I know how easy it is to list what’s wrong with America, almost too easy. In many ways, America is almost pure bullshit these days from the fractured media landscape, spamtastic maximus marketing, shysters jacking up prices left and right, Left and Right political BS, climate ostriching, Rights revoking and even idle chatter of Civil War and more. I even have some friends who have gone so far as to up and leave the country because they couldn’t take it anymore and they seem happy with their choice. I’m not ready for that nor do I want to be chased out of my home land by weirdos but I’m also a die hard optimist.

It’s no fun staying in bash mode all the time so I thought I would take a moment to hold out some positive developments and achievements that are worth celebrating and pinning some hopes on.

Science and Engineering

While our general population of students are slipping and don’t stack up to others in the world right now, we still crank out an extraordinary amount of high level science (often in global partnerships). Look no further than the Jame Webb Space Telescope which from the very first picture released this July promises to completely revolutionize astronomy and our understanding of the Universe. This is a gift to humanity we can be very proud…
