We need more rational adults to tell people in leadership and legislative positions to “get out of the pool, it is time for the adult swim.” The message is simple – “you folks are too worried about keeping your job, than to do your job.” The lobbyists pay a lot of money to get these funded drones to look the other way or do their bidding.
So, with the more rational adults in charge, no more Q conspiracies, no more pretending climate change is not a problem, plastic in the ocean the size of Texas is not a problem, poverty and hunger are not problems, gun violence is not a problem, debt is not a problem, racial bias is not a problem, the lack of civility is not a problem, etc.
Finally, if the people in leadership positions start to focus on the multiple causes of real problems and actually use data and science to discuss solutions, then those biased talking heads with audiences will be forced to discuss these matters as well. Frankly, it is highly disappointing and embarrassing to witness how often these talking heads intentionally or accidentally misinform people.

Note to Readers: Please note, there are many teens and adolescents who understand issues of the day better than many adults. The “adult swim” context should welcome those precocious young people who read and advocate about some of the problems I mention, among others. Malala Yousafza, Greta Thunberg, etc. are two that come to mind who came into prominence as teens.
Amen Keith! 🙂 ❤
Thanks Deborah. There are several folks in Congress I could tap on the shoulder for “out of the pool” time-outs. Keith
Way to tell it like it is Keith. Yes, we need a time out of the pool ref for sure!!!👏👏👏🤲🏼
Cindy, too true. He or she will need a loud whistle, as well. Keith
Indeed!!! 💖💖
Short, sweet, and to the point! Excellent, Keith!
Thanks Jill. I kept thinking of the lifeguard. When he or she says out of the pool, he or she need not go into detail as to why.
Exactly!
