An underdiscussed aspect of this stupidity is how out of touch these people are: MOST Americans do not fly in any given year.
Those who do average under four flights annually.
Not everyone is Kash Patel, jetsetting to UFC fights and country concerts or whatever.

Imagine a presidential administration that was more racist than Woodrow Wilson but also lacked the redeeming internationalism
Seeing a leader of the United States adopt this line is revolting. While the US remains imperfect, it is also the global leader in FDI as well as the world’s leading destination for inbound investment. China would love to have an economy like America’s.

Spitballing here, but the administration so far has been truly excellent at circling the wagons, and if they boot Noem or Hegseth, I think the floodgates open.

I encounter people who seem to have lost touch with the concept of being a physical presence in a three dimensional space. Their body being present in, say, a doorway, while they stare at their phone cannot occur to them. Everyone is now the only human who exists. Seems bad.
Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

Hmm. Boss is telling me to murder people in cold blood. I'm uncomfortable with this, but I don't want to get fired. What should I do?

I do not think this argument is great. What do you suppose the overall breakdown of the Somali-American vote was? More or less than the 53% majority of white women who supported Trump?

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
