Hypothesis: the longstanding trade deficit is nothing more than US assets providing superior risk adjusted returns. The giant sucking sound is American capitalism and institutions hoovering up savings from there rest of the world

I’ve never seen how anyone could actually be enthusiastic about Trump. These latest nominations further bear that out. I mean I see pulling the lever for him in opposition to leftist insanity. But full throated support? Jan 6? Gaetz? Tulsi DNI? Come on. This is a deal with the devil at best

The whole world is going to become more or less American at some point because it’s the universal culture of freedom driven by choice, taste, and creativity

One wonders, given the primacy and pervasiveness of basic human instincts and drives (highest values) shaped by the forces of evolution, how has human existence given rise to so many varieties of culture across the globe and through the ages? How is it that, once we move away from the very basic, primal motivations, that we have such a diversity of value systems and beliefs?

I’ve had scant experience with a post catching a decent amount of attention, but it’s amusing to see the nogheads, galaxy brains, vitriolics, and ackshualliees reliably appear in the replies and quotes.
Imagine any other country on earth sacrificing so many lives to protect a people so far from home. Tens of millions of Koreans today owe their freedom and prosperity to the sacrifice and bravery of Americans from long ago. No other nation in history has fought so hard and sacrificed so much blood and treasure for the sake of people from distant lands. As a child of immigrants I will never not be in awe of this great nation 🇺🇸

Live your life with passion, embrace and walk with those that share it, happily see off those that don’t. So says Rokovich. Also, cherish the beauty and art in life, wherever you find it.
