With one week to go they keep telling me this is going to be the "closest election of all time"?   Really, that is what everyone is telling us right now.  Every poll that is taken is within the "margin of error".  Really, that is what everyone is telling us right now.

------

Yet, election day is still seven days away.  Two-thirds of the voting population have not voted yet.  Two-thirds of the electorate have not finalized their vote.  

Have you heard the closing arguments of the candidates?  One is dark, mean, misogynistic, and essentially un-American.  The other is light, joyful, hard working, optimistic and essentially American.

And the pundits say the election is a toss-up.  I say the pundits have been drinking the "el trumpo Kool-Aid".  The United States may have its issues, but the United States that i know isn't dark, mean, misogynistic, and un-American.

Oh well, what else can i say.  Everyone seems to be heavily invested in the outcome (except characters like George W., Jeff Bezos, Jamie Diamond, even my man, Warren Buffett.)  What's with these men?  Or are they simply part of the gender gap where males favor an autocrat and the females favor democracy?

No voice in this election speaks volumes.  No voice speaks louder than if they had voiced their distain for "el trumpism".  No voice is un-American.  Cowards in face of threats leads to threats being carried out--and it won't matter if you spoke out or didn't speak out.  But i guess that is part of the new America where money and self-preservation reign like Mount Everest over all the other mountains, hills, and "country".

What is George, Jeff, Jamie, and Warren going to say to the next veteran that they talk to?  They might as well just call them "suckers and losers".  Money is more important than country.  If we didn't make money, we wouldn't have a country!  That's my way of thinking.

The saddest of the lot, however, is George W.  None of the others understand the Government like George W. does.  George W. knows what it would mean to turn the Presidency back into "el trumpo's hands".  George W. understands that if both houses of government go "el trumpo's way", and if "el trumpo" is elected president, then the entire government is available to do anything that comes into the warped mind of "the golden faced man" who claims that he would look better if he wasn't running to save the country from destruction and he could simply lay around and tan himself in Florida.

Come on.  Wake up.

I know in the end that it won't matter.  Kamala Harris is going to be the next President of the United States.

------

And when all is said and done, we will be exactly back to the starting point where we started nearly four-years ago with this blog.  Maybe this time around the Administration will understand the benefits of globanomics better than the current Administration.  

Time will tell.  If we don't impliment globanomics in 2025 with Kamala as President and Liz as Secretary of Defense, then your guess will be at least as good as mine on the real future of the United States of America.

ps.  I see no further reason to comment on the election.  Que sera sera, i think is how the saying goes.  I feel that i have the opportunity to offer more than my "two cents" to the American debate, and that has been enough to satisfy my needs.   Thank you talkmarkets.

ps1. I turned the tv in the den on this morning before i moved out to the living area where i blog and do other mundane things.  An add popped up on the screen for a "Trumpy-Trout" at trumpytrout.com.  This is a placard with a mixed image of "el trumpo" and a trout (i.e., a fish).  El trumpo's ears are trout fins and they have given him trout lips, which can speak things "el trumpo" says at his rallies.  All for only the price of $59.99 plus shipping and handling of course.

ps2.  And that is America in October 2024 one week before the most important election in this nation's history.
