Just a few days until election day. I hope you know what that means.
Goodbye political ads, hello just in time for Christmas!
I'm not sure who is writing somebody's ads for governor but I'd sure hate to live where those poor people do. Everyone must be miserable. It sounds like some kind of godless third world country where nobody has a job. It sure isn't Kentucky.
In Kentucky things are pretty good. Jobs are everywhere. Wages are still rising. The price of gas in Kentucky is lower than any of its neighbors. Roads are being built coming into eastern Kentucky from all sides. New businesses are flooding into the state.
I even know more people mining coal today than I did four years ago. That kind of goes against what the propaganda says, doesn't it?
Considering what we've been through the last four years, the commonwealth of Kentucky is in amazing shape.
We've seen a world-wide pandemic that shut the world-wide economy down for months, affected nearly every part of our lives for two years and left over 1.1 million Americans, including just over 18,000 Kentuckians, dead. Isn't it good more Kentuckians have healthcare during a pandemic?
We saw the western end of the state devastated by tornadoes in a terrifying night that destroyed homes and lives over hundreds of miles. That was followed less than a year later by a thousand year flood that left thousands more homeless in eastern Kentucky. The economic loss from the combined disasters was in the billions. Again, isn't it good more Kentuckians have healthcare during a disaster?
Although we've been through circumstances no one alive had a playbook for, we've come out the other side three times as strong with opportunity and optimism higher than it's been this century.
Maybe those ad writers and their clients just need to break free of the flickering screen and get out for some fresh air. Get in some early Christmas shopping.
My best advice to them is start early. No need to wait until after the election, go ahead and take off Monday for the week. If you, dear reader, are in the same state of mind as those miserable ad writers, just join them. Forget this silly election.
Maybe the source of this misery is the cognitive dissonance in believing a ballot with ten races can have legitimate totals in nine races but not for the tenth. I know that kind of thing can cause a headache but it's an easy fix.
If you believe the last presidential election was hijacked, it's too soon for you. I feel your pain. It hurts to believe something so hard that there is no evidence for because it isn't real. You want it to be real so so bad because how else could the world's biggest fraud not win? How else could you be so so wrong?
And now they're expecting you to believe in the outcome of an election again. It's like rubbing the steal in your face. Don't do it. Skip it. It's too soon, you aren't ready.
It's only 48 days till Christmas. Better get on it.
