The country I grew up in, and the country today

The country I grew up in put a man on the moon when I was still riding bicycles to school. That's compared to the country today, which hasn't been back to the moon since. Back then, rocket scientists used slide rules. Today they have powerful computers. Too bad today's scientists cannot match them, despite the advancement in computers. Maybe they could if science was still being taught in schools, as opposed to the fake science of today.

The country I grew up in built virtually all of its own automobiles. That's compared to the country today, which may not be making cars for much longer. The most successful entrepreneur in the automotive sphere in this country is Elon Musk, who is now being targeted for destruction. His offense is to oppose a leader who claims to be democratic. We fought a Cold War to stop what this administration is doing routinely. This was inconceivable in this country when I was a kid.

The country I grew up in had several plane manufacturers. Boeing was one of them. Boeing today is a shadow of its former self, and can't seem to make new planes anymore. Perhaps they can managed a fleet of planes, but as far as innovation, this company might as well be dead. It will be dead for sure within a generation. Boeing was just one of many airplane manufacturers, mind you. The others appear to have gone missing. This appears to be an unstoppable trend.

The country I grew up in was one in which most people could own their own home. Don't look now, but the country today does not look promising for the American dream for much longer either. Interest rates are difficult to service now, while inflation isn't likely to be tamed even at these rates. It won't be much longer when there will be massive defaults on home loans. That's what happened in 2008, and will likely happen again. You cannot borrow your way into prosperity, but the current crop of rulers seem to believe that's possible to create wealth out of thin air. They learned nothing from the Great Recession.

The country I grew up in had an agricultural sector that produced more than what could be consumed. The country today will likely not be able to feed itself in the near future. You will be told to eat bugs because we cannot grow cattle anymore for our beef. Say goodbye to McDonalds, unless they want to make you a McBug burger. All of this in the name of preserving the environment, which appears to be going to hell anyway. At least according to them.

The country I grew up in had a medical establishment second to none. The country today makes billions off of a vaccine that doesn't even work. Even worse, the so-called vaccine caused more harm than good. That's what so-called Progressives call "compassion".

The country I grew up in guarded its borders. The country today has no border to speak of, and will cease to be a country soon. The rulers today seem to think that is a strength, but history has shown otherwise. The Roman Empire fell because it could no longer guard its own borders. Today's so called leaders would prefer to guard somebody else's border.

The country I grew up in had free elections, and a free press. The country today, illegals get a free ride, but no more free elections for us. You will vote Democrat, or you will be punished. It looks more and more like the old Soviet Union.

The country I grew up in was the greatest country on Earth. The country I die in may not even exist for much longer. There are way too many people who seem content with that. But it seems a shame to me. The kids today don't look to the future with hope and expectation. There seems to be little reason for that, as the so called leadership seem content with driving the country straight into oblivion. If you complain about it, you are called an extremist. If protest it, you are called an insurrectionist. The destroyers are called good, and the builders are called evil. Little wonder that things are the way they are. Nothing lasts forever, and that seems to be true the "good ol'" USA too.
