Very interesting. There is the economic argument about trade surpluses, and the very different public perception and the politics based on that public perception.

Incoming dominar donald still doesn’t have a real economic plan, and his team of hand picked yes-men are certainly not going to talk him out of anything…

Gerrymandering has become the foundation of republican politics… rigging elections before any votes are cast. Controlling the state courts is an essential element of this game. This is about holding the court through 2030. The next redistricting.

We do live in a time of monsters. Global warming, AI, and rising authoritarianism. These are things we ourselves have created. And behind each of them are wealthy, powerful men being driven by greed and a lust for unchecked power.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.
