Hoboken NJ Train Wreck
These are manned trains with multiple redundant failsafes. Seems odd. Praying for these people.

The Worthless
I was listening to the radio while running a couple errands yesterday. One of the local talk shows was on, and the host was busy bloviating on about how Trump totally blew the debates the night before. The more popular online blogs that I lurk around on were doing much of the same.
All I heard was "if Trump knew what was best for him, he'd do X instead of what he did."
And the only thing I could really come back with is "Do go on, and tell the guy who created a campaign, blew away all other primary candidates, and is seeing a steady increase in the polls, how you - oh sage consultant - would be able to help him do better."
It occurred to me that these people that we have on our radio waves, and the blogs that we frequent, know absolutely nothing about how to win an election. The proof is that Trump basically does the complete opposite of what they want, and he keeps gaining.
These are the same people who'll scream at their idiot boxes during a debate and bray on about how horrible Trump is at anything, and when Trump wins this election (which I believe will be a landslide), they'll be jumping up and down and saying, "we did it!"
Let's all try to remember who these people are down the road. They're lazy and incompetent. They'd never lift a finger to make anything or even help, but when you've finished creating it they'll happily tell you what they would have done to make it better.
I call these kind of people The Worthless, as that's how they behave. They add no worth to anything. They simply subtract. Given that, The Worthless is too positive a name for them, but I'll stick with it.
Think about it. If someone else put their time and effort into creating something, but you try to change it into something that's good for you, stop and ponder. Maybe it's not meant for you. Maybe it's meant for the person who created it. Maybe you should make your own instead of writing a 1-star review, or calling a radio show to demean it.
If you - dear reader - find yourself behaving like The Worthless out there, do yourself a favor and stop. Look into creating your own thing. Start your own campaign. Write your own blog. Make something useful. Help out! Ask people what you can do to help them. Be a part of creating something, instead of being like the alternative, always looking to knock down something you didn't build under the guise of "making it better."
Distancing yourself from these kind of people, and that kind of behavior, is amazingly refreshing. You'll find that you're happier. Your outlook on everything going on in this world will be brighter.
Try it out. It really works.
