Notice the marked difference between the Republicans’ responses to the crimes of Nixon and those of Trump. Nixon, who obstructed justice, was forced to resign in disgrace and, within a few years was simply a distant, unpleasant memory.
50 years later, Trump tried to overthrow the United States government, and is now the GOP’s run-away frontrunner in the upcoming primary. As shown here, one of his congressional supporters made plans to throw a party to celebrate the anniversary of the insurrection.
At left is an interesting twist on the case for social democracies. In short: Investing in people pays off.
As they say, Education is expensive, but the cost of ignorance is far higher.
Have we hit the tipping point on climate change? For example, has the melting permafrost in the Arctic released so much methane that a runaway feedback loop has been established?
As suggested at left, an analogous question could be asked about the level corruption in the U.S. government.
