2020 would seem to have been a tough year for happiness. But not for the Finns. Or for most of the rest of us for that matter. The World Happiness Report is out and despite the death toll from Covid along with the economic insecurity and disruption of most aspects

Writings of J. Todd Ring: Election 2020 USSA: No Matter Which Elite Pawn You Vote For, You Get Fascism
This short essay was written in September, before the election, but the analysis still holds, and the points made are still relevant, and in fact, extremely important to understand. The only thing I would add now, in December, is that revolution is overdue. * In the USSA Presidential Reality Show

I think the people of the United States should immediately secede from Washington, Wall Street, and Langley – whether Trump or Biden or any other corporate-fascist poster-child is in office – and start the revolution again: this time, with the methods of Martin Luther King Jr. By the way, I
