Thanks, I'll check it out, though it's going to take more than motivational books to pull the US out of the current nosedive...

Does EVERY axis in life have to be fucked up at the same time?

Can we have one thing that is just doing ok?

Government - fucked.

Education - fucked.

Healthcare - fucked.

Environment - fucked.

Societal and Social Cohesion - fucked.

Wealth Inequality - fucked.

Personal Technological Autonomy - fucked, and under continuous attack.

Technological Enshittification - Running like gangbusters. So really - fucked.

Damn, someone give me some kind of ladder to climb out of this pit of despair.

Shit I try not to think about for $1200, Alex!

(But I can't disagree with a word.)

I never thought I'd be a cheerleader for arteriosclerosis, but here we are!

Well, we're clearly talking about two different thresholds, but my happiness doesn't require us to agree, and yours shouldn't either.

Good day to you!

I'm sorry you feel that way. I welcome your mockery if we have something resembling a normal 2026 midterm and 2028 general.

I'm a little surprised so many folks don't seem to realize we have crossed a threshold that may indeed spell the end of the US as we have known it up to now, and seem to think this was just another election. But, I guess for folks who haven't witnessed that many of our elections in their lifetime it might seem that way.

If more people did realize that, I'd have a lot more faith that we're going to be able to stop it.

Bold of you to assume we get more free elections.

Or like the sort of thing a hostile foreign government might really want to have happen to the US...

Good thing we have agent Krasnov at the helm.
