The pandemic (and often stupid response to it) is on the verge of destroying it.
I have to confess that I wouldn’t miss it all that much, except when I travel. I can prepare my own food much healthier, and much lower cost. The fact that so many young people thought they could afford to pay other people to cook for them is one of the reasons that generation is having a tough time financially.
Biden and Harris kick off their campaign by repeating it, to sow racial hatred and division.
Some history to put current events in context.
Yes, having the Chairman of the JCS call out the military if Trump refuses to leave office is a terrible idea, on multiple levels. This is Trump derangement to the max.
This history is not taught much in American schools.
This is amazing: “On January 12, 2017 a felony leak about phone calls between the Russian Ambassador and General Flynn was published by The Washington Post. This led to Flynn’s downfall and reignited the Trump-Russia investigations still tearing our nation apart. 48 hours before the leak was published, my former supervisor Halper eerily laid out what was about to happen to Flynn, something he had no independent reason to know.”
It would appear that Halper was the leaker. And kudos to Matt Taibbi for trying to expose it.
Some interesting thoughts. I’m a somewhat aggressive independent thinker. Elon is way out on that spectrum.
Baby, please come back.
This virus has been like a wildfire, sweeping through education, academia, and blue cities. It took technological and social trends that were already happening, and rapidly accelerated them, and now they’re smoldering ashes. I don’t think any of them will ever be the same again. And that’s not a bad thing.
…has been oversold.
At some point, the people will simply rebel.
And a depressing post from Virginia Postrel about “the new normal.”

Ted Wheeler is reaping the whirlwind.
