Ruth Badar Ginsgurg opitmisticover the long haul for US

"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reportedly said at a Saturday evening play that she is optimistic about the United States “over the long haul.”

“My hope is in my lifetime we will get back to the way it was,” Ginsburg said about the partisan divide in Washington, D.C., The Wall Street Journal reported.

The justice was attending a play about conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died last year.

Ginsburg and Scalia were known for their close relationship, despite polarizing political views and differing interpretations of the law."

Her buddy Antonin and his soulmates have infected the public sector with private capital. And McDonnell makes it harder than ever to police it. Feels like good times are just around the corner.

Extreme poverty, early death, death from violence are dramatically down in the past few decades. The number of scientists world wide has exploded and now their communication turn around time is only a fraction of what it used to be. In the USA conservatives are dying off. Artificial intelligence will multiply what we can learn. We are on the verge of amazing good times.

Trump is just a small bump in the road.
