This is a staggering indictment of our health as a democracy. Too many cooks in the kitchen, so unfortunately we cannot have nice things to eat.

Only thing worse would be actual "crooks" in the kitchen...hope that never happens...it can't happen here! It would never happen here. Ever...

On a personal note: my nephew is now a coder in Stockholm, which he loves. He can ride his bike all over the place. You don't need a car. His partner there trained as a nurse, didn't like the actual job, retrained as a lawyer, likes that. All because: Sweden! You could never do that here. We don't get options like that. Because we are Free!

She came here to visit, and described her big big rental SUV as "Ready for the Apocalypse!" And it wasn't even a Cybertruck, aka the Armored Personnel Carrier. That one would be ready for Day of the Locusts.

Swedes don't fear job loss like we do...oh, I could go on and on. They are not as materialistic, don't rush their kids to grow up so fast...but they can't deal with immigrants, either, sadly. And that Russian bear...

We are so screwed up here. My friends in Canada think we are a bunch of cowboys. And boy are they mad at the US now. Wayne Gretzky (!) is the new Charles Lindbergh, a turncoat. Amazing!

Maybe there is a Chaos Agent or two at work somewhere?

I will shortly be taking the NYC subway system, should I ask for people to pray for me?
