Who am I?
I am not a politician. I have never run for office nor worked on anyone else’s campaign. I am not angry or surprised that the choices I’ve made have not made me wealthy. I am sometimes annoyed at people who seem to believe that America owes them a living. I’m counting on the Social Security I earned to add some wiggle to my retirement. I am neither communist nor MAGA. I’m an unremarkable American, patriotic enough to get teary during the national anthem and not always confident in our direction as a nation.
I have read more books than most, including a majority of the banned ones. I can put Ukraine and the other countries of Europe on a map. I think I understand the Constitution. I have a passport and have experienced the advantages and disadvantages of life in other countries. I believe in manners, in accountability, in kindness, in strength, and in our shared responsibility to leave the world a little better than we found it.
I believe that what happens in elections is that the people speak about the kind of country they want to inhabit. Living in a democracy is supposed to mean respecting the will of the majority. I see an opportunity -– and a duty -– to contribute to Elonica. Despite my initial reluctance to bid farewell to the country I have known, I am drinking the Kool-Aid. I can be a voice of support as we do a hard reboot from America – the democracy that failed us – to Elonica – the golden meritocracy we deserve.

On the day that the richest man in the world succeeded in getting Donald Trump re-elected, I decided to document our transition from America to Elonica. Every Wednesday since the election I’ve posted observations about key events and charted data to document our progress toward our Golden Age. Over the last year I’ve added pages: Edicts du Jour (each and every Executive Action summarized as haiku); the Legion of Meritorious Excellence (L.A.M.E.) Awards (so we don’t forget the “little people” working in the background); and Cabinet Space (to introduce leaders of our meritocracy).
The plan is to continue to publish every Wednesday, updating data and topics of interest weekly and sharing thoughts about the progress we are making. In this small way, I hope to help in giving Elonica all of the attention it deserves. (If you are viewing this on a phone, click the navigation box at the top to reach other page links).
