In other posts, we’ve looked at the prospects of a massive refusal on the part of America’s top military to follow a manifestly illegal order, like invading Canada.

What about a less dramatic case?  What if I were the chief White House superintendent and Trump told me to bulldoze the East Wing?  I’d say, “Sorry, I resign as of this minute. You may find someone who will destroy a national treasure, but it’s sure as hell isn’t going to be me.”

What Can Trump Destroy?

If I were writing the piece at left, I wouldn’t say, “the system is rigged,” because that implies some clandestine.

I would saw the system is designed to make rich people richer, and to ignore the needs of the masses. It’s working exactly as it’s designed to.

Now it’s true that all this is more obvious now than it was 50 years ago when the average American came out of college and got an office job that enabled him to earn a living wage.

Is the System Rigged?

As I mentioned in my recent post on Germany, we have a president in the United States who’s doing everything in his power to destroy the entire renewable energy industry, and, thus, is creating a real problem for those concerned about jobs.  Currently, there are 569,000 solar in renewable energy generation, and over 3 million in the related industries, e.g., battery storage.

Here’s a question worth asking: What do the Germans have that Americans don’t?  Answer: A population of voters that values honesty and sanity.

What they don’t have is a criminal sociopath running their country.
