just one thing that will could most definitely change this country in your lifetime if not mine is the drop in child poverty from this one program, that's all it takes.Something presidents and parties fought for for decades and couldn't pass just got passed in the midst of the chaos and not many paying attention because they are like arguing over black face or troops in Afghanistan or what Russian trolls know will distract trolls here or whatever

For good or ill, who knows! I.E. prior to Social Security, extended families had to take care of their elders, there was little of what we now take for granted, being able to go off on your own and make your own way. Social Security allowed for the ushering in of the idea of nuclear family and everything that went along with that...

BTW, I agree with you that it is important to pay attention to fresh less partisan thinkers like Andrew Yang, you are definitely on the right track there. One thing I am sure of: the woke millennial elite thing won't last, rubs too many constituentcies the wrong way including all the non-elite; I just don't know how long it will take for the script to be flipped.

As as often the case, you

As as often the case, you have a well-written succinct essay here, which was preceded by lots of forethought.

It hits home for me right here on Dag as I just got told I don't care about other people because I just wanted to remind everyone that the same violence going on in Afghanistan is happening right here in the U.S.' s big cities every day and maybe people should think about that before they get obsessed by what's going on in Afghanistan. I post thousands of stories of Americans experiencing pain day in, day out, yet I am apparently the one who doesn't care about people because I won't yell about Republicans enough, or I don't buy the self-deluded spun narrative of one poster on Dag obsessed with black skin, or what?

I dont want to stress the meta of that, the point is: nobody seems to want to look at big picture! Everything is passion of the moment. It's the distraction thing, anything to distract in the moment from what's really going on.

Big picture for Soviets is that their Afghanistan experiment was seriously traumatic for their whole project, perhaps more devastating than Vietnam was for the U.S.

In the end, I am grateful that we have someone with the lifetime of experience of political ambition MISTAKES like Biden, who also knows he's going to meet his maker soon, at the top, trying to corral the mess and return to some kind of common good unity in this nation.

And again, a reminder that, to me, living 1980 looked just as bleak and toxic as now, but things didn't take long to change. Heck by the mid-80's it really did look like Japan was going to take over the world.Look at them now.
