This is very interesting and relevant. I’m just reading Sally Carson - The crooked cross - about Germany in the early thirties and written at the time.
So well said. I truly believe that America is a sleeping giant and while it has taken far longer than it should to wake us up, we will and we will come together and fight back.
The country is forever changed and there is no going back, but we will learn. And hopefully other countries won’t make similar mistakes.
Thank you for everything you’re doing. It does make a difference. Sending so much hope and love your way. xx
The fuel prices are the fault of your own local politicians and its going to get worse because more refineries are going to shut and you'll have to import more specially blended fuel from Eastern Asia.
(BTW regular petrol prices here in Japan are ~$4/gal, which is about three quarters of what I paid last week when I refilled my rentacar at LAX). To the extent that President Trump has done anything he's helped increase the supply of local oil by overriding the state and allowing Sable oil to produce oil from its wells just off the California coast.
I believe much the same applies to the prices of electricity and gas, which my San Diego friends tell me are also sky-rocketing.

A terrific book and full of foreboding for those living in MAGA America.
The best IC among many good essays.

Well said, my friend.
