Ready for retirement

A current example of something that sent me straight into a state of ecstatic anticipation? Learning that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas may soon retire!

Earning and learning

Franklin Roosevelt used the WPA to help construct different things. Wouldn't it be good to re-enact the WPA for welfare workers? There several things where they could work under men that could show them how to do things, and then they would honestly be earning their welfare checks and learning a trade, too!

Brexit

The British decision to leave the European Union is a strong indicator of the resurgence of ethno-nationalism and will later be remembered as the first in a series of events that will culminate in World War III.
