The United States has always been a pretty screwy place, but it's gotten completely unhinged over the past few years. It feels like living in the first chapter of a dystopian novel, or in one of the flashback scenes from The Handmaid's Tale. I'm not going to pretend that it isn't depressing, but its times like these that I try to remember the things that George Carlin said.
"When you're born in this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show.
When you're born in America, you're given a front row seat."
This interview from December 17th, 2007 does a good job at capturing what I've come to learn is my defense mechanism. It's in this spirit of allowing myself to be a spectator and finding enjoyment in the freak show that I decided to see how Chat GPT would envision paradise for the driver of this truck based on the sticker that they placed on the driver's side rear window.
