In the 1950’s and 60’s US leaders looked at the former Great Powers, particularly England and France, with puzzled amusement.
Why did these countries continue to act as though they mattered? How could they be so unaware of their own decline?

You promise yourself that you're not going to be drawn in by the furor over DJT's latest lunatic pronouncement. Then the Speaker of the House is forced to get an okay from Elon Musk to keep the US government open.

Next Man Up: New CEO Andrew Witt reassures shareholders that United Healthcare will continue to reject claims. There is always someone ready to jump up and serve the Powers and Principalities. The demon behind those servants is capitalism.
