Macronomics

Trillions are at stake.

Trump did not create all of it, but he is instrumental in most of it and he reads the national and global vibes brilliantly.

When the m-o-o-o-o-o-o-n is in the seventh house
And J-e-e-e-w piter aligns with Mars
Then p-e-e-e-a-c-e will ≈ guide ≈  the ≈  pla-a-nets.
And l-u-u-u-h -- u-u-u-h-v will steer the stars.

Like this:

I would say let's go back to a gentler time when Democrats sang of a new age of peace harmony and when liberals accepted the results of national elections and didn't resist to 100% to thwart America's will to becoming great again and presidents weren't impeached only because Democrats simply cannot handle being pushed out of power and when given the smallest majority in the House they didn't distort all the parliamentary mechanisms available to them and further distort the functioning of all government departments wherein they exist deeply ensconced to accuse their adversary of abusing power, the precise thing they are doing themselves. But then I realize, looking back on it, the situation was even worse in 1969. It was a period of extreme high anxiety.

Let's sing.

I loved this song so much.

These kids are gorgeous performing the song by singing it and signing it at the same time. Each wearing a tie-died t-shirt, headband and sunglasses, long bead necklaces. Their idea of late 60's hippies. Adorable. I love them. They actually look better than hippies did back then. Their hair is short and they're all well-groomed. They look healthier and not stoned. These are the grandchildren of the generation who originally sang this song and they look altogether more well off. 

They do not sign it as I do.

"This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius" is reduced to "now." 

"steer" is signed like that Chinese guy at the Pacific Market chopping a roasted duck, except with two cleavers instead of just one. The sign shows a steering wheel of an automobile, not hastily chopping a roasted duck. 

Their sign language is deplorable and the girl singing has that high-school drama club voice that is nowhere near the original. Nevertheless, they are all beautiful.

Shame the song is too old for the kids to pick up today. It offers a lot of possibilities. There really are signs for "Jupiter" and "Mars" but they are not in general dictionaries. You can show all this very well by deviating from standard sign, while relying on standard sign leaves parts confused. For example, the moon is not in an actual house. It's in an area of the sky. Not a house. You can show orbs lining up dramatically by veering away from textbook ASL and simply pantomiming. You can have planets  "guided" and stars "steered" dramatically without chopping an invisible duck. Even with all these shortcomings I still love watching these kids pretending to be their grandparents when their grandparents were young.
