That scene in "The President's Analyst" is pretty good and yet so dated in its presentation.

I am ultimately pissed off about de-evolution in human civlization, as opposed to evolution.
At one point in the past, many people had utopian visions of the future. Nowadays, all of our TV shows and movies showcase dystopian visions of the future, very negative scenarios. And all you have to do now is just watch the news, and you can see how a dystopian future for Earth is most likely. It's happening all around us, all of the time. However, I think greed and lust for power and control and money, is largely to blame for this proliferation of negativity and a broken-down society. Big Pharma, corrupted media, corrupted government, and the military and intelligence agencies, are mostly to blame for this, overall. I think the "bad karma" goes to the Big Bank, pharma, military and NSA/FBI/CIA/MI6 people of the planet. May God have mercy on their souls...

Yeah... Thinks suck bad at times. If you can do something about it it does help get motivated. If you cannot, can get tough to live with. Getting informed helps. Coming to terms that Earth has been a crazy place for a long time has also helped with the nature of nature.

Yes. Well I am pretty steamed I'll tell you that. One of my friends had a baby in November. Me and my other friends have been helping this girl out, we help with diapers, babysitting, clothes, food for her etc. We brought this girl into our group and helped her become a winner and she is WINNING at life guys. She works full time and gets ZERO government assistance and has started to THROW AWAY all the TOTAL BS life has thrown at her.
Now the sperm donor wants in on the action after being MIA for legit her entire pregnancy plus the first almost 9 months of her life. Never called. Blocked our numbers. Has done NOTHING for this sweet baby and he is telling my friend that I, yes, me. I am the problem here. Oh. Just my advice about how she can tell when some useless man is just trying to take advantage of her. I told her now she's on top and she should think about whether or not dealing with this person who doesn't seem to actually give a crap about her or baby is going to be a productive move for her. Think about whether he would be coming back around if she didn't have something to offer him. Because he thinks me and my friends are "man-haters". I said.......no we hate losers who abandon their babies. That's who we hate. All we have done is shown her that she is worth everything in the world and should have self-respect and not lower her standards for anyone. SO NOW..............because he is making all these crazy ass threats WE are going to meet with an attorney on Monday to go over her options. Unfortunately she could have filed to terminate his rights for abandonment since he was totally out of the picture and incommunicado for way longer than 6 months, but now that he's made contact I guess that isn't an option. He is a registered sex offender so we are hoping that will give us some leverage if we have to go to court.

Humanity doesn't actually want a perfect utopia, no matter what science fiction claims. Because a true utopia would feel stagnant, boring, and oppressive, as there would be no struggle or conflict, to promote growth. Without problems to overcome, achievements lose their value. What people actually want is not utopia, but a better world, safer, fairer, more compassionate that still leaves room for creativity and change.

News says it's projected to increase again due to tarrifs soon.
