Trump Admin is too innocent of other player's guile to make a considered decision. Trump stopped taking advice from Intel. Pros and is now SO easy to play. e.g., Putin visit. "5 eyes" Intel. has been stopped. We are on our own & with our Intel. services decapitated. .... Pearl Harbour II?

Early Morbidity = # of people who died before their statistically estimated time of death. Average life expectancy went down in US. Covid was endemic by the time Biden took over. Over 1 million early deaths, thanks to Trump Admin. At least they pushed for the vaccine.

Covid revisisted. NZ took real steps to mitigate the Covid thingy early on. Draconian steps. Closed airports, closed ports, 2 week quarantine. Their early morbidity statistics were a fraction of a % of US figures. It cost Jacinda Ardern her job but it extended the lives of thousands.

I guess that they have the idea pushed to them that Trump will pardon them for killing innocent civilians. MAGA are a bunch of evil rats.

Sadly, that may be the only way. Remember the Russian Revolution was the result of an unpopular war, a repressive monarchy, poverty, financial inequality, and foreign interference. (German money for Lenin's putsch.)

Give people a choice. Primary all the Dems running, if there is a 2026 election. If no election is going to happen, then we need to hang a few thousand MAGA politicians and set a date for elections. (May mean hanging 6 Supreme Court Justices, too!)

Jeffries kowtows to AIPAC. He will never inspire like AOC or Bernie. He needs to go. This guy and Schumer are patsies for the Democratic Plutocrats. With leadership like this we are well and truly fucked.

Trump's N.E.P. (New Economic Policy .. sorry Lenin) shall in the future be called the glorious "Dictatorship of the Plutocrat". I disagree with a lot of your conjecture above, BTW. 'fer instance the USSR started falling apart with the help of samizdat.

What could have been if the country had moved forward with a national nuclear electrification program starting 60 years ago! I blame the fossil fuel lobby and the "best Congress money can buy". โ˜น๏ธ

Big reactors have more trouble dealing with "the iodine valley" and "latent heat of fission" than the little critters do. eg. Chernobyl ... The US has gazillions of used fuel rods in storage but no rational program to use them. Hey, use the old fuel rods. No new mining needed.

Small reactors can be built to have fewer and smaller problem areas. One version tested used water as the regulator for the power output. The MSRE (Molten Salt Reactor Experement) unit could be shut down on Friday and started up on Monday. Power decreased on this unit if the fuel got too hot.

G.E., Westinghouse and Babcock and Wilcox wanted big contracts so they built large reactors. Large reactors have problems that up-scaling causes. In the meantime the US navy was expert in safely using small reactors. Lately the idea has been called "SMRs" or Small Modular Reactors.

What about nuclear energy. Fission or Fusion? We lost the opportunity to have a benign power source back about the Carter administration, when Carter decided not to re-process fuel rods as an "example to other nations". This idea had been previously pushed by the Ford Admin. U238 mining lobby??

Texas MAGA: Bigist of the big, MAGAster of the Magasters, Gloriouser than glorious, Sublimester than God, and poised on the brink of a giant fuckup if the non-aligned and Dem voters turn out to vote in the narrowly gerrymandered districts. Beware Abbot. Be very afraid!
