Adam Green, cofounder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said: “Even in 2021 and 2022 Biden was likely not fit to run for re-election. He could not get sentences out. He could not barnstorm the country. He could not make a case like Barack Obama could. He couldn’t skewer false Republican talking points like other Democratic politicians could. He shouldn’t have run again.” He added_: “The incorrect takeaway from this book is that Biden should have gotten out a few weeks earlier so that Kamala Harris would win. The better take is that he should have gotten out earlier so that the Democrats could have a primary and select a better candidate.”_

Yes, I listened to a lecture recently discussing how heavy a burden and mentally/physically aging a grudge is (stress hormones), and that rememberance needs to evolve to the point of an interesting historical lesson, anything more is too taxing. And it lines up with Buddha saying resentment/anger is like swallowing poison, expecting the offender to die.

Always have been. I remember a couple of decades ago seeing photos of children in countries more ravished by poverty, digging through open mountains of waste to glean bits of gold from computer waste, lead and CRT based products.

Germany. Italy. A bunch of EU states. Some African states. Who am I kidding? Capitalism rules the world, they're just extremely emboldened now. Globally, we need to wake up and show them they've overplayed their hand -- before we can't.
