  • We’ve always known our growing interdependence is a risk, but there’s been many benefits and decades of good experience. Occasionally, the US has done things that have slowed this progression and has made many of us wary while some (especially business leaders in sectors such as oils and gas) insisting it’s silly paranoia.
    For politicians to make such a major move, there has to be a strong interest or concern amongst electorate. In a matter of weeks, Trump obliterated the idea that this is silly paranoia, and there’s a strong sense of halt! Fuck no! reverse, hard! So I think it is completely different this time.

    When people come over for dinner, I explain to them if the food is too hot, to spit it out and avoid suffering severe burns. They are like, thanks but I’m not stupid, which is a great setup for a story:

    So my friend shoves a huge forkful of baked potato I serve into his mouth. Days later, his dentist asked why didn’t he just spit it out as he removes rotting flesh from his mouth.
