Text

Like they say, we primarily got a service economy now. Can you believe that sh#t? How you gonna be the most powerful nation on earth when you’re in the service business, instead of makin’ things other countries want to buy? (mimics) Do you like the presentation we done for ya, your highness? If by some chance you’re not completely pleased with it, we’ll be happy to go back and do the whole thing over again. (back to self) And, unfortunately, this here particular town shows how far down the wrong road America has gone. It’s fallin’ apart, fallin’ apart right before our eyes. And I don’t see how it can get back to what it was. Maybe time for us to think about movin’ on, too, Deke. Try a new place.
