One good thing about having Trump in the White House is that doesn’t have enough sense to hide what a terrible person he is.

We all recall the COVID-19 outbreak, and Trump’s suggestion that we reduce our testing for the disease on the basis that less testing means fewer positive results, which means less outrage on the level of Trump’s ineptitude in handling the epidemic.

In a Strange Way, Trump Is Transparent

Until I was about 40, what Milton Friedman said at left made perfect sense to me.

That’s when I realized that free market capitalism is destroying the environment, and that without government regulation, our planet would soon be in flames.

Remarkably, there are many people, especially those in Big Oil, who understand climate change but think that wildfires, superstorms, desertification, ocean acidification and massive losses of biodiversity are an acceptable price to pay if it will transport them millionaires to billionaires.

Government Is Inefficient, But . . .

Glenn Close is what Donald Trump would call a “woke celebrity.” Yet what he’s deliberately ignoring is that he has virtually zero support from the entertainment industry.

Sure, you can find an occasional Clint Eastwood or James Woods.  But for every one of them, you’ll find perhaps a dozen intelligent and kind people like Close who deeply resents Trump’s attempts to steal democracy from the American people and the rest of the civilized world.

I’m no expert on political demographics, but is strikes me that someone like, say Jodie Foster, who could read at age three and graduated from Yale magna cum laude, probably sees life differently from the MAGA base of carrot farmers.
