Well put, Tabdullah praise be upon you.

Though numbers do not lie, they do not tell the entire story. Economics is essentially a social science. Rather than give up, or go on welfare, or on disability or some other unearned income scheme, there actually appears to be the beginnings of renewed faith in earning money and keeping more of it.

Previously I held the pessimist's view. That being the republic had lost its identity and with it the will to strive in the present for a better future. The populist/socialist/entitlement/dependency factions are currently in a panic.

In addition, as with all transitions there is enormous stress. Like it or not, we are now firmly wedded to global economics. It appears that this nation still has the capacity to emerge as the leader in this brave new world.

The grip held on us by the MSM seems to be weakening as we grapple with the digital age. We can fight back against open borders, corruption, political correctness, victimhood and identity politics. No one knows what it will look like when we come out the other side but it sure as hell seems to me that suddenly it is possible that we will come out the other side.
