The welfare state model no longer works; the center — consensual democracy — wobbles towards the extremes. What to do? Beat our plowshares into swords?
"What to do?" Good question if, at some point, details are to be entertained. However, the primary decision of "Fight or Flight" remains. I'm a fighter by nature and therefore will give my support now to much vilified "man in the Ring" to whom this poisoned chalice "debt cup" has been passed.
I'll also mourn the memory of the frontline fighter, Charlie Kirk and will root for those who will step up to fill the void that has been left. Will pray that non-violence remains as our guiding force.
But we have come now to a place where we need to address the root of this violence. Violence that sees very young school children shot through a stained glass window as they sat in church. Violence that seeks to silence their opposition with bullets.
There's that word again - "opposition". Not to be confused with "oppressor". But who will teach the difference rather than dedicate themselves to erasing boundaries in their lust for power?
Ed, I choose to find a secondary country away from the declining US society perhaps not just for my welfare but for the welfare of my kids and grandchildren. I'm saddened that the US is in decline but there isn't anything much I can do about it. Our leaders who I voted for are continuing the spending pattern and it doesn't seem like it's going to change. My vote for Trump was a vote fir a Milei try of leader and its not what we got. I applaud your decision to fight vs flight and wish you all the best but I'm tired of fighting what seems to be a losing battle. I'm cutting my losses and going to find greener pastures elseware maybe.
Several points. First of all the Gaza war was started by Hamas attacking violently civilians during a peaceful concert. Biden had nothing to do with it. I want to say a few things about 9/11. There is a docuseries which shows some very unpleasant statements. 1. The CIA had something to do with the attack on the World Trade Center to have an excuse to go to war against Afghanistan and Iraq. 2. The CIA followed most of the terrorists coming to California and into schools learning to fly large planes. 3. Also the buildings fell perfectly down similar to buildings being demolished for future buildings. 4. The plane that attacked the pentagon hit the area where documents were kept where much of the money spent was documented. More than 3 trillion dollars became unaccounted for. Of course, none of this can be proven just food for thought. I know this has little to do with BB.

Isn't that the better question?

Mr. Bonner,
The twenty some odd countries surrounding Israel are quite pleased at the degradation of Iran:
whose proxies lie in the terror apparatus of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, et al
whose leaders are billionaire cowards in Doha.
