I would say that there is large variety of types of freedom, and that freedom itself is relative.  No one is absolutely free; for instance, no one is free from eventual death.

Things that make people relatively free includes riches, health, peace of mind, wonderful interpersonal relationships, and living under a government that does not restrict speech or personal movement.

Comment on Freedom

Incompetence isn’t actually the issue with Trump.

Imagine for an instant that the president was paid $100 billion per year to run this country, and that he was given a $50 billion annual merit-based bonus if his key statistics were up that measured how well the country was doing in terms of the quality of Americans’ lives. Do you think he’d be starting useless and illegal wars that drive up consumer prices?  Destroying the educational system and the environment?

Not for a millisecond.

Incompetence? Not Really

As shown here, there are (formerly credible) people who are telling us that Trump is restoring Americans’ trust in government.

Do they truly believe this?
