A good read-
From the essay:”The Founders limited presidential power for good reasons. History and their own experience with George III had taught them that “power is of an encroaching nature,” and that no man no matter now virtuous or noble, is beyond corruption by power. That’s what made Washington’s resignation of his commission after the Revolutionary War, and his refusal to run for a third presidential term, so remarkable and unprecedented. As George III himself said when told Washington would resign his commission, “If he does that he will be the greatest man in the world!”
The good thing about this is that people are beginning to experience “crisis fatigue” and take less notice of the bastards.

I see this at my local supermarket on occasion. Looks worse there because the locals undressed like that will be on welfare and don’t have nice white robes.

He’s right, as usual.
That is one magnificent diatribe. It shows just how big the problems are – and I have no hope that they can be fixed through the politcal process.
None.
I don’t either,especially when stuff like this is swept under the rug as a norm-

Food allergies are very much a modern phenomenon. According to the non-profit group, FAIR Health, allergic reactions to food have increased five times over the last decade, up 377% from 2007—2016.
Forgive my cynicism, but food allergies are very much in vogue. If you aren’t gluten-free you’re a virtually prehistoric Cheddar man.
You don’t meet many gluten-free kids in Syrian refugee camps, or kids with nut allergies displaced from Yemen. Funny, that.
I think we are seeing two distinct groups of parents here.One set that over reacts to everything imprinting that same behavior on their children.And another group that could careless about their children’s well being.
Both don’t bode well for the children or society as a whole.
