Iceberg

The presidential campaign has taken another turn. It started out a Miss Congeniality contest with personality being more important than policy as this emphasized Trumps lack of political correctness more than his policies but that has now changed. Neither personality nor policy are important as the Harris campaign is down to two reasons to vote for her. First she is a Black female and second she is not Trump. There is no need for her to lay out any policies or to conduct any interviews. Her lack of administrative skills and her inability to express herself without reading will have minimal effect on governing since the great free market economy moves along like a giant iceberg seemingly not effected by politics. The country swings back and forth between more and less government but the berg just keeps floating along. It is the news media that keeps politics alive and in the minds of the people and even during an election year most people are still more concerned about paying their light bill than listening to debates. Pew Research this April showed that more than 80% of Americans believe elected official don't care what people like them think. The country has experienced four years of Trump and four years of Biden and the berg is still gliding along in the current of free markets.
