It was bad timing on my part to do taxes so close to the Presidents' Day holiday. (Can you imagine a more ridiculous holiday?!) What was it that President Carter called our tax system: "a disgrace to the human race?"
There was a temptation to wallow in some sour and unprofitable thoughts about our political system. But I resisted.
There are more pleasant things to think about: Washington DC's global militaristic empire seems to be falling apart right in front of our eyes. "DC" might possibly get away with its destruction of the Nordstream gas pipeline, but only because the German Greens are also interested in committing economic suicide.
But elsewhere it seems that most events are solidifying Eurasia as a rival power bloc. How much prestige and influence will "DC" be left with after a humiliating defeat in the Ukraine War?
