Regarding Election Day
After today, I think it will be very important to focus on kindness to our fellow man. The world is changing. People are nervous. There is so much uncertainty. (The exact amount is uncertain.) But consider this: 3.5 million people work in the transportation industry. Right now, in every city of the world, people are testing vehicles to fully automate those 3.5 million jobs. Can you imagine how the election season will feel then? The anger? The outrage? So whether you are a Trump supporter or a Clinton supporter, or if you think the whole game is rigged and no one ever gets a voice, remember the words of the poet:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.
-W.H. Auden
