Things Ain’t So Bad

Things Ain’t So Bad

The world is still not perfect, nor will it ever be. There is plenty of room for improvement. Having acknowledged those facts, I’d also submit this about the US and elsewhere:

• Unemployment is really at zero (under 5% is chronic).

• Middle class salaries are up.

• Crime is drastically down, especially violent crime. New York remains the safest large city in the world.

• Almost all diseases and illnesses have been reduced, except for a few kinds of cancer.

• Driving fatalities are down.

• The economic indicators and stock market continue to surge upward, even with corrections.

• The Consumer Confidence Index is the highest it’s been since 2000.

• Major corporations such as Boeing have huge backorders.

• Global terrorism has been significantly reduced and the ISIS “Caliphate” has been eliminated.

• The eight major economies in the world are al growing.

• Pollution in major cities such as LA has been dramatically reduced.

It’s not perfect. We have a lot of work to do. But we ought to be “present” and understand that we’re not doing so badly.
