A reader notes: Here is a 10 MB hard disk from the 70’s that I was told cost $40k. Sitting on it is the 1 terabyte hard drive from my laptop.

At left we see an example of how the rest of the world views Trump and the United States of 2026.
A blend of pity, contempt, and ridicule.
The Rest of the World Can Scarcely Believe How Far the U.S. Has Fallen
