Eye opener for July 24, 2024: Did Earth stop producing leaders?

Writer's picture: Chris OssmanChris Ossman

Why are so many American leaders so old? Did California stop producing smart, intelligent leaders in 1985? To me, the would be the only acceptable reason for Nancy Pelosi to still in in the House of Representatives. This question could be applied to several states where the likes of Mitch McConnell have held one national office or another since the eighties. This would explain why Diane Feinstein died while still in office. Was she a Senator or a member of the Supreme Court where the appointment is for life?

In my humble opinion, the standard of living in America peaked in the eighties and has been on the decline ever since. As zany as that decade may have been, it held a promise that few could say is available today. It held the promise of hope. Hope for a brighter future. Hope for a prosperous future. Hope for greater things to come.

It's starting feel as if there is a brain drain in the United States. It's starting feel as if our elderly leaders have little to no faith in us to live our lives without their intervention. These old ass leaders who can't even use a cell phone have turned America into a surveillance state, where we have no right to privacy, we're guilty whether we're innocent or not. We're ignored in the most dire if times. We're robbed at every turn through as many immoral but legal means as outright illegal means.

How is someone who can't even able to program a TV remote supposed to understand the ethical dilemma created by denying so many rights to so many people. We can't protest wars that kill millions. We can't protest inequality that kills millions. We can't protest drugs that are not fully tested. Our lives these days consist of work, eat and sleep... That is unless you're rich. Fewer states are offering amenities for their residents that make those cities enjoyable places in which to live. In Miami, there used to be one fantastic event after another. My weekends were filled with fun things like Calle Ocho, the King Mango Strut, the bed races and more. Now, I spend the weekend looking for something to do. The weekly paper that listed all of the weekend events went from approximately 100 pages to approximately 10. And, before anyone says "it's probably just online today" they would be correct, but there is nothing more to be found there.

The American dream has grown old and stale as have the stewards of that dream. I'm not certain this country can take another decade of the worst that us Boomers have to offer. I don't believe this country can wait for them all to die off in office. With a national leadership that feels like the cast of the movie Cocoon or the TV show the Golden Girls, maybe it's time to leave the theater or change the channel, because the reruns will never change. The script always includes economic failure, prevalent inequality and war. This show sucks. Let's leave!

In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.

In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
