What's going to happen to the economy in the time before the election?

(all tr. by Wilhelm-Baynes)
37.5 The Family > 22 Beauty
.5: “As a king he approaches his family. Fear not. Good fortune.
This sounds like a good thing, but the reality is that we are not governed by someone who approaches his family like a king, with love and virtue, but like a nasty, low animal -- with fear and divisiveness.
So I believe this is a sly way of saying: it would be good with a real leader, but with what we have... well, do the math.

But I wanted a clarification/restatement, in case I had misunderstood, and got:
15 Modesty, unchanging.
“Modesty creates success. The superior man carries things through.”
Ha. Same deal!
Here we have a leader who is the living, walking embodiment of the opposite of modesty, the definition of the INFERIOR man.
He does not carry things through.
Ok then.

But interesting that it’s phrased this way rather than saying straight-up misfortune.
Why are the readings phrased this way — what am I to take from that?
20 Contemplation, unchanging.
“Think about it.”
Ok, I will. And I'm going to post about it here.

Have any thoughts?
