Here’s a radical idea. Start making our public system work. Use the precious resources we devote wisely.
How? This is not an “ideas” problem, a “public vs. private” problem, a “funding” problem or, as our govt view it, a “communications” problem.
This is a management problem.

I had dinner with two retired Canadian Border services folks yesterday. They spent decades of their careers in the agency. I asked them if they would feel safe enough to cross the border into the US this summer. Their response, in unison: hell no.
Canada has shown the world how to stand up to the gangster regime.
The United States is losing $12.5 billion in travel as Trump turns them into an international pariah.
